That's the time it takes the Moon to go (approximately) half way round the Earth. The time an object takes to orbit Earth depends on its distance from Earth.
The full lunar cycle is roughly 4 weeks, and from full-moon to new-moon is half the cycle, so it would take (roughly) 2 weeks to go from full to new moon.
The full lunar cycle is roughly 4 weeks, and from full-moon to new-moon is half the cycle, so it would take (roughly) 2 weeks to go from full to new moon.
It takes about 29.5 days for the moon to complete a full lunar cycle and reappear in the same phase. This cycle includes all the phases of the moon, from new moon to full moon and back to new moon again.
a new moon is when the moon is forming again and a full moon is when the moon is fully formed <><><><><> The new moon is when the Moon is minimally lighted, while the full moon is when the Moon is maximally lighted.
Phases of the moon are caused by the revolution of the moon around the Earth and the revolution of the Earth around the sun. As long as the moon revolves around the Earth as it does, the lunar cycle from full to new to full again will take about 29½ days. We will be having about twelve and a third moon cycles every year until these facts change.

The moon completes one full cycle, from new moon to new moon, in about 29.5 days. This is known as a synodic month.
