29.5 days
The moon takes about 29.5 days to go through a complete cycle of phases, known as a synodic month. This cycle includes all the phases from new moon to full moon and back to new moon again.
The pattern of the moon phases repeats approximately every 29.5 days, known as a lunar cycle or synodic month. This is the time it takes for the moon to go through all its phases, from new moon to full moon and back to new moon again.
The changes in shape that the moon goes through are called phases.
The moon has different phases that it passes through, just like we have different phases in our lifetimes.
There are 8 phases of Earth's Moon: New Moon, Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, Last Quarter, and Waning Crescent.

There are 8 phases of Earth's Moon: New Moon, Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, Last Quarter, and Waning Crescent.
From the perspective of the earth, the most apparent objects that go through phases are the moon, Venus and Mercury
A complete cycle - for example, from one full moon to the next - takes 29 1/2 days.
