In simplistic terms, the moon orbits the earth 13 times in a year. However, nothing is simplistic, in reality, the Moon will rotate around the Earth about 13.37 times.
The moon completes a cycle of phases every 29.53 days, so there are 12.37
complete sets of phases in 365.25 days.
Depending on when the first Full Moon is, there are either 12 or 13 total in
that year.
There are always 12. And if the first one occurs by January 10, then there's
enough time after it for 12 more by the end of the year.
And there's another, more elegant way to look at it: All of the moon's phases
are seen 12 times every year. And all of those those phases that occur during
the first 10 days of January are seen one extra time that same year.
Thirteen because it takes a little less that 28 days for a compleat moon cycle. Devide 365 days by 28 days and you get 13.
There are nearly 3 every year

Anywhere between once and five times.
During the 100 years of the 20th Century, there were 229 lunar eclipses,
for an average of 2.29 per year.
121/3 complete cycles of phases
The question is a little vague; I'm going to assume you mean full moons. The synodic period (the time between two full moons) averages 29.53 days, which works out to about 12.4 of them per year. In any given calendar year there are either 12 or 13 full moons. 2014 is a "12 full moons" year; 2015 will have 13.

A "blue moon" has been defined as two full moons in the same month. This can happen in any month except in February. It isn't all that rare; it happens about every other year.Two "blue moons" in the same year can only happen in January and March, which is what happens in 2018. That's because February is the only month in which it's possible to NOT have ANY full moons; February has only 28 days, and a month is 28.5 days!We can expect this (two "blue moons" in the same year) about every 31 years; any time the Moon is full on January 2, it will be full again on January 31, March 2 and March 31.
There is usually 1 full moon in a month, making 12 full moons in a year. But it can also be different because our calendar is not always correct for when they will come!
There will be a total of 12 Full Moons this year, 2014.
A leap year, like normal years, usually has 12 full moons, but can have 13 full moons.
There were 13 full moons in 1982. The number of full moons varies each year. In 1983 there were 12 full moons and in 1984 there were also 12 full moons.
The exact number of full moons fluctuates by year, as the lunar calendar is only roughly twenty nine days long. In 2013, there will be twelve full moons.
a little less than twelve
12. one every month
We will have 8 more full moons
The next calendar year in which the full moons will fall on the same date as they did in 2005 will be 2024.
There are 720 full moons in 60 years. Not counting Blue moons, Red moons or any other type
13.
12 moons are in a year. 1 moon = 1 month. 12 moons = 12 months = 1 year
