Sugar is your brain's preferred fuel source -- not table sugar, but glucose, which your body processes from the sugars and carbs you eat. That's why a glass of OJ or another fruit juice can offer a short-term boost to memory, thinking, and mental ability.
Best Answer: Technically each cardinal phase (First Quarter, Full, Last Quarter and New) are all momentary events. They occur at specific times and then pass immediately. A better way to ask the question is to ask how much time passes BETWEEN each phase. The answer to that question is 29.5 / 4 days. 29.5 days is the number of days that it takes for the moon to cycle through it's phases (called the synodic month)... The interstitial phases (Waxing Cresent, Waxing Gibbous, Waning Gibbous, and Waning Cresent) also last 29.5 / 4 days each...
How long does it take our Moon to go around Earth? 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).This is called the synodic month. The difference between the sidereal and synodic months occurs because as our Moon moves around Earth, the Earth also moves around our Sun.t 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.
