The New Moon, First Quarter, Full Moon, and Third Quarter are moments in time,
with no duration.
The Waxing and Waning Crescents, and the Waxing and Waning Gibbous phases,
each last roughly a week.
It takes approximately 29.5 days for the moon to go from one full moon phase to the next when viewed from Earth. This period is known as a lunar month or synodic month.
The Moons Revolution around earth is about 30 days. So if you divide that by 8 (because there are 8 phases) you would get about 3.75 days in between each phase. That is New, Cresent, First Quarter, Gibbous, Full, Gibbous, Third Quarter, Cresent and then once it gets back to New Moon again, its starts over again.
The complete cycle of the moon's 'phases' ... the time to go from any shapeto the next appearance of the same shape ... averages 29.531 days.
It's about 354 days, which is about 11 days less than a solar year.
The New Moon occurs 29.53 days after the last New Moon.
There are slight variations through a year. The average is 29.531 days.
It lasts about 6 days, but it really depends on the season.
A last quarter moon occurs approximately 22 to 23 days after a new moon. The lunar cycle, from one new moon to the next, takes about 29.5 days, with the last quarter phase occurring roughly three-quarters of the way through this cycle. Therefore, after a new moon, the last quarter moon appears about three weeks later.
One lunar day equals 28 earth days
There are 29.5 days in a lunar month.
It takes approximately 29.5 days for the moon to go from one full moon phase to the next when viewed from Earth. This period is known as a lunar month or synodic month.
A lunar month cycle, also known as a synodic month, is approximately 29.5 days long. This is the time it takes for the Moon to complete one full orbit around the Earth and return to the same phase, such as from full moon to full moon. Because of this duration, lunar months can vary in length, alternating between 29 and 30 days in many lunar calendars.
Well, there are approximately 29.5 days in a lunar phase period, from new moon to new moon. So I would assume that there would be 29.5 days between each particular phase as well. But I am not 100% sure about that.
The Moons Revolution around earth is about 30 days. So if you divide that by 8 (because there are 8 phases) you would get about 3.75 days in between each phase. That is New, Cresent, First Quarter, Gibbous, Full, Gibbous, Third Quarter, Cresent and then once it gets back to New Moon again, its starts over again.

One lunar month, rounded to two decimal places, is equal to 27.32 days. Therefore, twelve lunar months are equal to 27.32 x 12 = 327.84 days.
