The pattern of the moon phases repeats approximately every 29.5 days, known as a lunar cycle or synodic month. This is the time it takes for the moon to go through all its phases, from new moon to full moon and back to new moon again.
The stages of the Moon, are referred to as the 'Phases of the Moon'.

The different views of the moon are known as moon phases. These phases are named after the shape of the illuminated portion of the moon as seen from Earth, such as Full Moon, New Moon, First Quarter, and Last Quarter. The changing appearance of the moon is a result of its orbit around Earth and how sunlight illuminates its surface.
The moon phases change approximately every 7.4 days, as the moon transitions from new moon to full moon and back again. This cycle is known as a lunar month or synodic month.
