It would be about 29.5 earth days. Or, precisely the same length of time as a full cycle of moon phases.
Convention has it that the cycle of moon phases begins with a New Moon. (When ti is almost dark.)
The cause of the phases of the Moon is closely related to our calendar month. (moon-th). The phases of the Moon are related to the Moon's orbit of Earth.

All but one. The cycle of phases of the Moon takes 29.5 days, so however you define the length of a lunar phase, you're missing one.
The moon displays a complete cycle of its 'phases' every 29.5 days.
The moon displays a complete cycle of all its phases every 29.53 days.

is called the phases of the moon.
The four main phases of the lunar cycle are the New Moon (which is not visible except during an eclipse), First Quarter (waxing half moon), Full Moon (all of which is visible) and Third Quarter (waning half moon). The moon phases in between the four main phases are the crescent and gibbous phases.
The complete cycle of moon phases repeats every 29.53 days.
That is the lunar cycle, or the phases.
