How often does a new moon occur?

Answer 1

The full moon occurs whenever the moon orbits the earth opposite the sun. It takes the moon roughly 28 days to orbit the earth, so once every two weeks it is opposite the sun from us (full moon), and two weeks later it is on the same side as the sun and all we see is the moon's "night" side (new moon).

Answer 2

Once a month. Very rarely it occurs twice a month. This second full moon during a calendar month is called a blue moon.

Answer 3

A new moon occurs once every four weeks. It happens when the earth passes between the moon and the sun in its orbit.

Answer 4

every 27.3 days....which is the period of moon's revolution around the earth and what is the next date that this will happen?

Answer 5

I think a new moon appears once every 29 days like a full moon....... but that's a rough estimate only.

Every 29.53 days.

Answer 6

Once a month
