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...
The orbit of the Moon around the Earth is completed in approximately 27.32 days. The more precise figure is 27 days, 7 hours, 43 minutes, 11.6 seconds. The period between cons â¦ ecutive phases is longer, at 29.53 days, because the position of the Earth and Moon changes as Earth orbits around the Sun. An anomalistic month is the Moon's orbital period measured from perigee to perigee-the point in the Moon's orbit when it is closest to Earth. 2  An anomalistic month is about 27.55 days on average.
