The exact number of full moons fluctuates by year, as the lunar calendar is only roughly twenty nine days long. In 2013, there will be twelve full moons.
A lunar month is the period of time between new or full moons.
Yes, on average there are about 12.37 lunar cycles (full moons) in a year. This means there are roughly 12 full moons in a year, not exactly 10.
No, the blue moon is actually the second full moon in a calendar month. It is a rare event that occurs when there are two full moons within the same month.
If you are asking about how many full moons there have been since 19th December 2012, at the time of answering this question (Saturday 8th June 2013), there have been six full moons since 19th December 2012.
A lunar month is based on the time it takes for the moon to pass through all its phases, approximately 29.5 days, while a calendar month is a unit of time used in the Gregorian calendar, ranging from 28 to 31 days. Due to the difference in length, lunar months do not align perfectly with calendar months, resulting in variations in the timing of lunar events such as full moons.

How many full moons per month? Usually, one, but it is possible to have two, as there are 13 lunar months and 12 calendar months in a year. When do full moons occur? The moon revolves around the earth roughly once each month. (Moonth). When the moon is on the opposite side of the earth from the sun, it catches the full sunlight, making it look big and round. When the sun and moon are on the same side of the earth, all we see in the lunar night side. This is called the "new" moon. Half moons result when the earth is at roughly right angles to the moon and sun.

The full moon occurs approximately once every 29.5 days. This means there are about 12-13 full moons in a year, varying slightly due to the length of lunar months and the calendar year.
I would call it a lunar cycle.

A lunar calendar is a calendar based on the cycles of the moon, typically consisting of 12 lunar months in a year. It tracks the phases of the moon, such as new moon, full moon, and the waxing and waning phases, as opposed to a solar calendar which is based on the position of the Earth relative to the sun. Lunar calendars are used in various cultures and traditions for agricultural, religious, and cultural purposes.
It is called a "Blue Moon." This phenomenon occurs when there are two full moons within the same calendar month.
