The moon's 29.5 day synodic month was the basis of lunar calendars throughout the course of history. While a lunar calendar was convenient, it presented an immediate challenge: Compared to the solar year of 365 days, a lunar year lasts an average of 354 days. Some groups decided to ignore this discrepancy.
It takes the moon 29.5 days to go through all phases, from full moon, back to full moon for example. Relative to the background stars and ignoring the earth position relative â¦ to our sun, the moon takes 27 days 7 hours and 43 minutes to orbit the earth-the sidereal orbit.ow long does it take the moon to go from full-moon phase to new-moon phase? 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.
