It takes 27.3 Earth-days for the moon to orbit the earth.

Since it takes the same amount of time for the moon to rotate as it does to complete a revolution around the earth, one moon day is equal to one moon year.
as many days as it is till it dies

The Moon orbits the Earth in about 27 days. A full lunar cycle (for example, full moon to full moon) is a little longer (29 1/2 days), because while the Moon moves once around the Earth, Earth+Moon move along in their orbit around the Sun, so the Moon has to go a little farther to get into the same position relative to the Sun.

The Earth and the moon both orbit their common center of mass ... the place where

the pivot would have to be if the Earth and moon were balanced on a see-saw.

Because of the large difference in the masses (about 80 to 1), the common center

of mass is actually inside the Earth, so if you were to watch it from the outside, it

would look as if the moon is orbiting the Earth, and the Earth is just slightly wiggling.

A complete mutual revolution occurs every 27.32 days (27days 7.7hours) .

The Earth takes 365.24 days to orbit the Sun once.

The Moon does not, strictly speaking, orbit the Sun; the Moon orbits the Earth, and tags along following the Earth around the Sun.
