The luminescence of the moon is caused by the sun's light reflecting off of it's surface. The lunar cycles occur because the earth gets in the way of the sun's light.
It is happening all the time. The lunar cycle is the 29-day cycle of new moon, first quarter moon, full moon, last quarter moon and new moon again, and repeat.
1 lunar cyle equivelent to 29.53059 so what happens in a complete lunar cycle is the lunar cycle forms into a 360 circle
I plan my outdoor activities based on the lunar cycle to take advantage of the moon's phases for better visibility and tidal conditions.
The Waning Phase in the lunar cycle occurs as the moon shrinks from the Full Moon to the New (Dark) Moon. Note: You can tell when you are in the Waning Phase when the Left Side of the Moon is illuminated. Conversely, if the Right Side is illuminated, the Moon is Waxing.
15 days
The lunar cycle lasts 28 days.
The hormone that causes ovulation to occur in the menstrual cycle is called luteinizing hormone (LH).
~ 29.5 days a month.
A new moon occurs when the moon is positioned between the Earth and the sun, with its dark side facing Earth. This alignment causes the moon to appear invisible in the night sky. The significance of a new moon in the lunar cycle is that it marks the beginning of a new lunar month. It is a time for new beginnings, setting intentions, and planting seeds for growth and manifestation.
The days move as the monthly calendar is not the same as the Lunar cycle.
About 2. The lunar tidal cycle is 12 hours & 25 min. (Note that not all tides are lunar.)

A month is a somewhat arbitrary period of time that loosely approximates the period of one lunar cycle.
The lunar cycle is caused by the revolution of the Moon about the Earth.
It is happening all the time. The lunar cycle is the 29-day cycle of new moon, first quarter moon, full moon, last quarter moon and new moon again, and repeat.
Both the lunar cycle, bird migration, and cell mitosis involve repeating patterns or cycles. The lunar cycle is a monthly pattern of the Moon's phases, bird migration follows seasonal patterns, and cell mitosis is a cycle of cell division. All three processes demonstrate natural rhythms and regenerative processes in nature.
We don't see solar and lunar eclipses every lunar cycle because the orbits of the Earth, Moon, and Sun are not perfectly aligned. Solar eclipses occur when the Moon passes in front of the Sun, blocking its light from reaching Earth, and this alignment is not always present. Similarly, lunar eclipses occur when the Earth casts a shadow on the Moon, and this alignment also does not happen every month due to the tilt of the Moon's orbit.
