It takes 27.32 days. It has no particular name other than the moon's

'orbital period'.

It takes 29.531 days for the moon to display a full cycle of 'phases'.

That's the origin of the 'month'.

A lunar cycle. It takes 28 days to complete this process. Animals, including humans are in tune to this rhythm. Turtles and crabs use it to time their laying and birthing. Women normally menstruate every lunar cycle.

Good luck. I hope this helped.
