A full lunar cycle is 29 1/2 days, on average.
The moon in the days before and after a full moon appear as a gibbous moon. A gibbous moon is anything between a full moon and a half moon.
About 22 days
We see more of the moon lit when it is a gibbous moon than when it is a crescent moon, so it does seem bigger. Save
Nothing happens to the other side of the Moon in half moon days. The reason we do not see the whole Moon is because only half of it is reflecting the light from the Sun.
The smallest possible number of days between a solar eclipse and a lunar eclipse is 14 days. This is because a solar eclipse can only occur during a new moon, and a lunar eclipse can only occur during a full moon, which are approximately 14 days apart in the lunar cycle.
The time between two full moons is about 29.53 days (29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes).So new Moon to full Moon is half this period or about 14.765 days.
Approximately 14 days must elapse between the first-quarter moon and the third-quarter moon. This period represents half of a full lunar cycle, which lasts about 29.5 days.

accurately, its 14.75 days, but i guess you can count it as 15 days.
28 days. That is how many days there are in the Islamic calendar, which is based on the phases of the moon.
New moon to New moon takes 29.53 days. During this time the moon goes through several phases; (New moon) Waxing crescent moon (First quarter moon - half moon) Waxing gibbous moon (Full moon) Waning gibbous moon (Last quarter moon - half moon) Waning crescent moon (Dark moon) So roughly 7.5 days between each; New-half, half-full, full-half, half-new.

New Moon = the moment when none of the moon's illuminated half is visible from the earth.Waxing Crescent = about 7 days; visible portion growing from zero to half of the moon's diskFirst quarter = the moment when half of the moon's disk is visibleWaxing gibbous = about 7 days; visible portion growing from half to all of the moon's diskFull Moon = the moment when all of the moon;s illuminated half is visible from the earth.Waning gibbous = about 7 days; visible portion shrinking from all to half of the moon's diskLast quarter = the moment when half of the moon's disk is visibleWaning Crescent = about 7 days; visible portion shrinking from half of the moon's disk to zero
