    Answer: About 29.5 days.

    Explanation: It takes 27 days, 7 hours, and 43 minutes for our Moon to complete one full orbit around Earth. This is called the sidereal month, and is measured by our Moon's position relative to distant "fixed" stars. However, it takes our Moon about 29.5 days to complete one cycle of phases (from new Moon to new Moon).
