As a rule, no. When astronauts have gone to the moon, or when they spend time at the space station, time goes by virtually the same way for them as for the rest of us on earth. There are some relativistic affects, but they are insignificant. When astronauts begin to travel at velocities that are significant proportions of the speed of light, then they will experience real differences in the time that goes by for them compared to the passage of time on earth.
yes.....
Because the Moon Turns Slower Then The Earth.
It really does not, but it is close to a month. The moon always faces the same way to the earth as it goes around the earth. So the Moon day is the same as its orbit around the Earth, Roughly 29 days.
It would be about 29.5 earth days. Or, precisely the same length of time as a full cycle of moon phases.
Yes it is. It is a fairly common event, really.Yes, in any month except February.The length of time between two consecutive appearances of the same Moon-phase atthe same place on Earth is 29.531 days. So, whatever the phase of the moon happensto be at the beginning of the month, that same phase always repeats in the same month,whether the month has 30 or 31 days. Only February is shorter, so it can't ever host a repeat.
The lunar month refers to the time it takes the moon to get back to the same phase (for instance, from one New Moon to the next). The moon needs to get to the same part of its orbit where the Sun is in the same position for an observer on Earth. The Moon has to take another 2.2 days to "catch up."
The Moon is tidally locked to Earth; the Moon's "day" and the Moon's month are the same length. So the "near side" of the Moon always faces the Earth, and the "far side" always faces away from Earth.

The complete cycle of the moon we see on earth in phases: New moon, First quarter, full moon, third quarter. & back to new moon. This cycle is 29.5 days. Some might consider this a "moon month" {moon Moonth}, However each of the earth months have the same number of days any where in the solar System nay Universe.
The same half as the rest of the month. The Moon is tidally locked to Earth, and rotates at the same rate that it moves around the Earth, so the same side always faces the Earth.

The time between a new moon and the next new moon is approximately 29.5 days. This period is known as a lunar month or synodic month and represents the time it takes for the Moon to return to the same position relative to the Sun as seen from Earth.
The moon has an axis, and as the moon orbits the Earth, it keeps the same face toward the earth. So the moon rotates on its axis the same length of time it takes to rotate the earth -28 days.

The Moon is tidally locked with the Earth, meaning it rotates about its axis at the same rate as it revolves around the Earth. For this reason, the same side of the Moon always faces Earth and the Moon slips away about one inch every year.
