A full cycle takes 28 plus (about a half day) days.

Yes it is. On the average, the moon rises after the sun by about 50 minutes for each day past New Moon.
gbfrveufbrg A good summary of the story "Moon Phases", (if I am talking about the same book as you are) is that there are many different phases of the moon. There is a crescent moon, full moon, half moon, and much more! (name all if necessary). The moon changes over time. The moon is always there in the day time, however, in the night it shines, so it's clearer to see, and more visible. :)
The tide is based on the phases of the moon and sun.
Phases of the moon
New Moon, First Quarter, Full Moon, and Last Quarter are the four phases of the Earth's Moon.
Most of the time, yes. There really isn't any connection between the phases of the Moon and the solstices or equinoxes.
The phases of the Moon are different every day - in fact, every MINUTE. The Full Moon doesn't take all day, it happens at a moment in time. The moon illustrations for the full, quarters and new tell you on what day those occur. But because those precise phases occur at the same time all over the world, they are sometimes off by a day, especially for calendars distributed internationally.
yes, the moon phases change every day. as long as the moon keeps orbiting earth, that will happen.
It reflects the phases of the moon
Our calanders are based on the time taken for the earth to orbit the sun (1 year) and the time taken for the earth to spin once on it's axis (1 day). The phases of the moon, or the moon orbiting the earth, doesn't really come into it, but it takes around 29 days for the moon to orbit us.
The phases of the Moon are caused by the angle between the Moon and the Sun changing. At one time we see the illuminated side, at another time, its dark side. The full cycle is 29 1/2 days.The phases of the Moon are caused by the angle between the Moon and the Sun changing. At one time we see the illuminated side, at another time, its dark side.
