What determines how long the Moon takes to complete one
cycle of phases?

It takes 27 days 7 hours and 43 minutes for the Moon to complete one full orbit around Earth. it's called the sidereal month it's measured by our Moon's position relative to distant fixed stars. but it takes our Moon about 29.5 days to complete one cycle of phases from new Moon to new Moon.

1: most common garden plants prefer loam — soils with a balance of different-sized mineral particles (approximately 40% sand, 40% silt, and 20% clay) with ample organic matter and pore space. however, some plants grow better in sandy soils, while others are well-adapted to clay soils.

2: available water capacity is the maximum amount of plant available water a soil can provide. it is an indicator of a soil's ability to retain water and make it sufficiently available for plant use. available water capacity is the water held in soil between its field capacity and permanent wilting point.

3: it is the same for all living things (plants and animals). it also includes very tiny organisms that our eyes cannot see. they are known as microorganisms, and include viruses, bacteria and fungi.
