I learned this in science class- it takes 29 1/2 days for the moon to go from new moon to the next new moon.
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 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.
Fourteen days after a full moon, the moon will be in the new moon phase. This is because the lunar cycle lasts about 29.5 days, so two weeks after a full moon, the moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun, making it largely invisible from Earth.
No, Venus in its full phase is not visible from Earth. When Venus is in its full phase, it is positioned on the opposite side of the Sun from Earth, which means it is lost in the Sun's glare and not visible to us.
The "waning gibbous" phase lasts from 2 days after the full to 6 days after the full.

Venus would never be visible as a crescent phase because it is an inner planet whose orbit is between Earth and the Sun. This means that Venus can never appear to us in crescent phase, as it would always show either a full or nearly full phase when viewed from Earth.

A full moon is the lunar phase when the moon appears as a complete circle when viewed from Earth. It occurs when the moon is directly opposite the sun, with the Earth in between them. This phase is known for its bright illumination of the night sky.

The "waning gibbous" phase lasts from 2 days after the full to 6 days after the full.
The lunar phase located 14 days past new moon is a full moon. The full moon occurs when the Earth is roughly between the sun and the moon, causing the entire illuminated side of the moon to be visible from Earth. This phase is characterized by a complete circle of light on the moon's surface.
If tonight the phase of the moon is full when it rises what will be the phase 4 days from now is in the waning gibbous stage.
this depends on what you mean. for the moon to return from one phase to the same (for example new to new or full to full) it takes 29.53059 days (29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes and 3 seconds). this accounts for the rotation of the earth. so for all intents and purposes as viewed from the earth's surface- this is the best answer. if you watch and measure from anywhere on earth, this is the duration of one lunar orbit. the most exact answer for the question as i interpret it is on average 27.21222 days- this is the nodal month, which is the duration the mood takes to travel from one node of its orbit to the same node. this does not take into account the rotation of the earth. this is 'one complete trip' as viewed from anywhere outside the earth and is more accurate for this question as i interpret it.
