Why does it take longer for the Moon to go through all of its phases than to come back around to its original point in the sky?
This has to do with the distance that the earth has moved around the sun in that time. The earths progression in that time means that the moon has to travel a little further to get back to the same position relative to earth and the sun (synodic period). This synodic period is longer than the sidereal period, which is the true orbit time of the moon relative to the stars.
What else can I help you with?
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)
What is as sentence for phases?
The moon has different phases that it passes through, just like we have different phases in our lifetimes.
What are the changes in shape the moon seems to go through called?
The changes in shape that the moon goes through are called phases.
Why does the moon appear different on July 2 and July 16?
The moon goes into an odd number of phases, and the fact that it takes 27.3 days to do a full rotation around its axis and to revolve around us, going through all the phases.
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

Does the sun have phases?
No the sun doesn't have any phases because its not revolving around anything.
How many phases does your moon go through?
8 phases.
How long does it take the moon to rotate around the earth and go through all of its phases?
360 days

As the moon moves around the earth what does an observer on earth see?
He sees the phases of the moon. A varying amount of the sunlit surface is visible as the moon goes through its phases, having increased or decreased illumination with a curved boundary.
When the moon goes through all of it's phases is called?
It takes one month for the Moon to go through all of its phases one time.
Why are some phases of mitosis longer than the others?
Some phases of mitosis are longer than others because different stages have different tasks or functions. Therefore depending on the task it has to do, or how complicated a phase is, one might be longer than another that has n easier job. :)
Is it true the cycle of tbe phases takes about two days longer than the moon revolution around earth false?
Yes, it's true. The difference is 2.21 days.
