28 days. When viewed from the earth, the moon goes through phases. It starts out as a "full moon" and then as you watch it each night you see it get smaller and smaller until it disappears and then it returns back. These phases are shown on many Calendars, so you can refer to a calendar to study the orbit of the moon.
The times of the full moon and the new moon are important to a lot of people. Several of the world's most popular religions use calendars whose months begin at the time of the new moon. Moon phases are important to avid fishermen (and fisherwomen) due to the change in the habits of fish from one moon phase to another. Some people prefer camping when the moon is full. Moon phases are important on some construction jobs that can be done only at high tide or low tide.

The three primary types of calendars are the solar, lunar and lunisolar. Calendars that are based on the earth's revolution around the sun without regard for the moon's monthly cycle, like the Gregorian calendar used in most if not all Christian countries, are called solar calendars. Calendars that are based only on the moon's revolution around the earth without compensation for the seasonal effects of the earth's solar orbit, like the Hijra used in Islamic countries, are called lunar calendars. Lunisolar calendars, like the Jewish calendar, have months that start at the times of the new moon but also periodically (seven times every nineteen years) add leap months in an attempt to stay in sync with the solar cycle as well.
