There is a question that ask how many days does it take for the moon to make 1 full cycle. They say the answer is 28 but that is incorrect.
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_long_does_it_take_the_moon_to_complete_its_cycle
The moon revolves around its axis and orbits Earth in exactly same time of about 29.5 days, relative to the Sun. This causes the moon to be constantly facing Earth with the same face. The moon's face is however lit by the sun at different angles as the moon orbits Earth, and this presents to observers the different phases of the cycle. The more precise mean (average) interval between full moons is 29.530589 days (29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes, 02.9 seconds).
