ever wondered why the Moon looks different on certain nights? This is justified through eight phases of the Moon. The Moon makes a complete phase cycle within a month; the exact time is 29.5305882 days. This is called the Synodic period or also referred to as Lunation. From the star's point of view, it takes nearly two days less, giving it a direct instance of 27.3217 days. This is the sidereal period, also known as the orbital period. The eight phases include the New Moon, the Waxing…
