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...
Because synodic and anomalistic months differ by almost two days, perigee and full moon alignments will drift relative to one another. The beat period between the two is about 13.9443 synodic months (about 411.8 days). Thus approximately every 14th full moon will be a supermoon. However, halfway through the cycle the full moon will be close to apogee, and the new moons immediately before and after can be supermoons.
