How long does it take for the Moon to show all its phases?

It takes the moon 27 days, 7 hours, and 45 minutes to complete an entire orbit around the Earth, but takes 29 and a half (29.5) days to finish one full phase cycle of new moon to new moon.

We see all of the moon's shapes every 29.53 days. But there's about 45% of its surface that we never see.

The Moon shows all its phases every 29.5 days, which includes phases like new moon, first quarter, full moon, and last quarter. This cycle occurs due to the Moon's orbit around the Earth and the Earth's movement around the Sun. Thus, the complete lunar cycle takes about 29.5 days from one new moon to the next.
