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.

Moon in rotation?

Where do you think the length of a month came from?
The length of a month is believed to have originated from the lunar cycle, with months roughly corresponding to the time it takes for the moon to complete its phases. The 30-31 day length of months can also be traced back to early Roman and Egyptian calendars, influenced by the movements of the moon and sun.
What does the length of your calendar months have to do with the moon?
The concept of a month is actually based on the cycle of the moon's phases. A lunar month is approximately 29.5 days long, which is why many ancient calendars, like the lunar calendar, are based on the moon's phases. The length of modern calendar months varies because they are based on a combination of lunar and solar cycles.
What determines length of a lunar month?
The length of a lunar month, or the time it takes for the Moon to complete a full cycle of phases, is determined by the time it takes for the Moon to orbit the Earth. On average, a lunar month lasts about 29.5 days. This slight variation accounts for why some lunar months are a bit longer or shorter.
What is the appromixmate length of time required for one complete revolution of the moon around the earth?
The approximate length of time required for one complete revolution of the moon around the earth is about 27.3 days. This period is known as a lunar month or sidereal month.
Length of new moon to the next?
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.
What happens to the moon when it orbits earth earth each month?
As the Moon orbits the Earth each month, it goes through a cycle of phases due to the changing angles between the Earth, Moon, and Sun. This results in the Moon appearing to wax and wane from new moon to full moon and back again. The Moon completes one orbit approximately every 29.5 days, which is why the lunar month is about that length. Additionally, the gravitational pull between the Earth and the Moon causes tides on Earth.
Why does it take 28 days for a full moon?
It takes about 28 days for a full moon to occur because that is the length of time it takes for the moon to complete one orbit around the Earth. This period is known as a lunar month or synodic month.
Why can you not stand on earth and see the far side of the moon?
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.
Since the full moon has different names in each month in what month is it called the harvest moon?
The month the full moon the called harvest moon is October.
