It takes 29.531 days. (rounded)
That's the time required for the moon to physically orbit the Earth (27.32 days),
plus the extra part of the orbit that it has to cover to make up for the roughly
27 degrees that the Earth has moved in its orbit during that time ... since the
visual 'phases' are all the result of our positions compared to the sun.
