If the revolution of the moon around Earth slowed down how long would the length of one cycle of the moon's phases most likely be?

Your question is not complete; slowed doen by how much? right now it takes 29.5 earth days for the moon to make one complete revolution around Earth. So if the speed of moon slows down by half of what it is now, then it would take twice as much time as it take now revolve around Earth

The phases of the Moon are a result of?
They are a result of its revolution around the earth.
Is it true the cycle of tbe phases takes about two days longer than the moon revolution around earth?
Yes it is true. Period of the moon's revolution around the Earth (and rotation on its own axis). . . . 27.32 days Period of the cycle of the moon's phases . . . 29.53 days Difference . . . . . 2.21 days (phases longer)
How do you explain how the phases of the moon are caused by the revolution of the moon around the earth and the position of the sun?
the phases of the y how much sunlight the moon is moon are caused by how much sunlight the moon is reflecting
What is the aproximate length of the cycle of phases of the moon?
approximately 29.531 days

i dont know you figure out

Why moon phases continue?
Phases of the moon are caused by the revolution of the moon around the Earth and the revolution of the Earth around the sun. As long as the moon revolves around the Earth as it does, the lunar cycle from full to new to full again will take about 29½ days. We will be having about twelve and a third moon cycles every year until these facts change.
What did the third phase of the Revolution created?
There are only three phases of the Revolution. The third phase is the French Revolution.
How many phases were there to the revolution?
i think there's four
Where did the length of the month come from?
the phases of the moon
Is the Moon's orbital period greatest at the full moon?
The moon's "orbital period" is the length of time it takes the moon to make onecomplete revolution around the earth. That period of time is about two days lessthan the time it takes for the moon to go through all of its phases.
Why do you see different phases of the moon?
because of revolution, also because of the way that the moon, sun, and earth revolve around each other!

Does the moon revolve around the earth in one day?
No, it takes 27.3 days to make a complete revolution (relative to the stars, 29.5 days relative to the phases).
How do you use the moons movement and phases to tell time?
you use the moons movement and phases to tell time because of the seasons, rotation, and revolution
