The Moon's near 28-day cycle is primarily caused by its orbit around the Earth, which takes approximately 27.3 days to complete one full revolution. This period is known as a sidereal month. However, due to the Earth's own orbit around the Sun, the lunar phases (from new moon to full moon and back) take about 29.5 days, known as a synodic month. This cycle influences various natural phenomena, including ocean tides and cultural calendars.
