Roughly 14.77 days after New Moon, a Full Moon is seen.
The moon displays a complete cycle of all its phases every 29.53 days.
The lunar phase that precedes a full moon in the lunar cycle is the waxing gibbous phase. This phase occurs when the moon is more than half illuminated but not yet full.
A new moon occurs at the beginning of the lunar cycle, and 28 days later, you would have a full moon. This is because a full lunation cycle, which is the time it takes for the moon to go from new moon to full moon and back to new moon, is about 29.5 days.
After 21 days from a new moon, you would reach a full moon phase. The lunar cycle takes approximately 29.5 days to complete, so 21 days after a new moon would place you close to a full moon phase.

The moon displays a complete cycle of all its phases every 29.53 days.
A lunar month is about 29.5 days long. Each moon phase, such as the new moon, first quarter, full moon, and last quarter, lasts for about 7-8 days.
The length of each moon phase varies, but on average, each phase lasts about 3.5 days. The complete lunar cycle, from one new moon to the next, is about 29.5 days.
The lunar phase that precedes a full moon in the lunar cycle is the waxing gibbous phase. This phase occurs when the moon is more than half illuminated but not yet full.
One lunar cycle is when the moon goes from one phase through every other phase until it returns to the starting point. This takes 29.53 days.

Full Moon
The cycle of the moon's phases runs 29.53 days.
The last three days of a lunar cycle are often referred to as the waning crescent phase. During this phase, the illuminated portion of the Moon visible from Earth decreases each day until it is no longer visible, marking the end of the lunar cycle.

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.
