State why the phases of the Moon repeat every 29.5 days. ​

Answer 1

The different shapes of the lit portion of the Moon that can be seen from Earth are known as phases of the Moon. Each phase repeats itself every 29.5 days. The same half of the Moon always faces the Earth, because of tidal locking. So the phases will always occur over the same half of the Moon's surface.

Answer 2

Answer:

The phases of the Moon repeat after every 29.5 days because of its regular orbit around the Earth
