If it takes one month to go through all the phases of the moon, why does the full moon not appear on the same day each month?

This bar timer, will start when anywhere on the slide is clicked. The bar will move from left to right and the word End will appear at the end, accompanied by a Deep Gong sound. It is possible to change the duration of this timer to any time, by entering the animation settings, and changing the timing for rectangle 3. Note the time has to be entered as a number of seconds so if you want 2mins & 30secs this is entered as 150 (60X2 + 30 = 150).
