is a lunar month a new moon
No, a lunar eclipse is not the same as a new moon. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes between the sun and the moon, casting a shadow on the moon. A new moon is when the moon is positioned between the Earth and the sun, so it is not visible from Earth.
A new moon occurs at the beginning of the lunar cycle, and 28 days later, you would have a full moon. This is because a full lunation cycle, which is the time it takes for the moon to go from new moon to full moon and back to new moon, is about 29.5 days.
