8 phases
There are only 8 phases of the moon.
No, the moon's phases are caused by the changing angles of sunlight hitting its surface as it orbits Earth. The moon does pass through Earth's shadow during a lunar eclipse, but this is a separate astronomical event from the moon's phases.
It takes about 29.5 days for the moon to pass through all eight phases, from new moon to full moon and back to new moon. Each phase lasts for roughly 3-4 days.
