Our moon takes 27.32 days to revolve once around the Earth,
27.32 days to rotate once on its axis, and 29.53 days to display
a full cycle of 'phases'. The "Full Moon" is one so-called phase,
that technically occupies only a single moment in time, although
the moon looks practially full for a day or two before and after.
rotation . . . 27.32 days
revolution around the earth . . . 27.32 days
revolution around the sun . . . 365.256 days
The moon spins once on its own axis and completes one orbital revolution around
the earth in exactly the same period of time . . . 27.32 days. (rounded)
Relative to an earthbound observer, the moon's periods of rotation and revolution
are the same ... 27.32 days. (rounded)
Both of those periods are the same . . . 27.32 days.
Rotation- 10 hours and 39 minutes Revolution- 29.5 Earth years
Rotation:17.24 hours Revolution:165 years
All planets in our solar system vary in the time it takes them to complete a revolution. This is due to their differing distances from the sun. As far as rotation goes, the time varies from nine hours and fifty minutes for Jupiter to 244 days for Venus to make a like rotation.
No, the planet with the shortest revolution does not necessarily have the shortest rotation. Revolution refers to the time it takes for a planet to complete one orbit around the sun, while rotation refers to the time it takes for a planet to complete one full spin on its axis. These two periods can be different for each planet.
Rotation on its axis takes about 58.6 Earth days and revolution around the Sun takes about 88 Earth days.
It is called synchronous rotation when the rotation and orbit take the same amount of time.
you use the moons movement and phases to tell time because of the seasons, rotation, and revolution

rotation around the sun approx 365 rom cal days and one revolution approx 24 hours
Rotation- 10 hours and 39 minutes Revolution- 29.5 Earth years
because it does
A year is the amount of time it takes the Earth to make one complete revolution around the Sun.
Rotation: 23 hours and 56 minutes. Revolution: A year. About 365 1/4 days.

Revolution is the time a planet takes to revolve around itself. Rotation is the time a planet takes to orbit the Sun.
