Our Moon: A Large Crystal-Like Ball Covered in Sand

Shabbos evening I was looking at the Moon in the South East Sky and to me it look Full. Each month our Moon is visual 28 or 29 days (more approximately 27.3 days). Each month we go from a Full Moon to a Sliver of a Moon and then to a Full Moon once again, repeating this process throughout the year. The Moon's orbit is for 354 days. The Sun's reflection on the Moon is what gives us this visual. However Earth's orbit around the Sun is 365.256 days. How does one correlate this?
