The Moon takes 27.3 days to go around the Earth once, but the time from new moon to new moon is 29.5 days. This is because while the Moon is going around the Earth, the Earth keeps moving going around the Sun. By the time the Moon has made exactly one orbit, the Earth has moved another 27.3 days along in its orbit, and it takes the Moon another 2.2 days to get back into the same relative arrangement of Sun-Moon-Earth.
