NO!!!
The Earth rotates once every twenty four hours. So the Moon appears to be in the approximately same position 24 hours later.
However, the Moon has revolved approximately a 29th of its orbit, and so will have shifted in the sky from its previous position by about a 29th (29 days from New Moon to next New Moon), of its orbit. So at the same time each day it will have moved a distance. Also in this time its appearance (phase change) will also have altered. So from NEW Moon to 1st quarter, its appearance will change from a narrow crescent to to a slightly thicker crescent.
NB The Moon revolves (orbits) the Earth once every 29 days. Complexing to this is the Moon rotates on its own axis once in every 28 or 29 days, so we only see one side of the Moon.
NNB Note the use of the words 'Revolve' and 'Rotate'.

∙ 15y agoLets do some math:
The distance between the Earth and the Moon is 384,399 kilometers. A good approximation is that the orbit of the moon is circular, therefore the orbit is 2*Pi*r.
2*Pi*384,399=2,415,250 km.

Mean radius = 238,000 miles
Circumference = 2 pi R = 476,000 pi = 1.495 million miles .
Verrrry interesting !
If you could straighten out the moon's whole orbit around the earth, it would span only about 1.6 percent of the distance to the sun !

∙ 14y agoIt takes the moon about 28 days to orbit the earth. Thus dividing 360 degrees (the entire circumference of the sky) by 28 yields 13 degrees--approximately the distance the moon lags behind each night on its monthly trek across the sky.

Wiki User
∙ 11y agoI can surely say that the moon travels 28201.1239822 miles in one day (24 hours). here is what I did:
I found the diameter of the moon-around-the-earth orbit. It was 242,863.168 miles. Then the circumference, 761,430.34752. Then divided that by the number of days it takes to orbit; 27. By the way, I'm 12.

∙ 11y agoNone. Actually, in 24 hours the Moon makes 0.0366 revolutions around Earth. This is because it takes 27.3 days for one revolution. This is why it takes the most part of a month for the moon to go through it's phases rather than couse of one night.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoIts distance from the Earth is 384,403 kilometers,
Its diameter is 3474 kilometers
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoThe moon that's closely associated with the earth rotates about 0.0366 of one rotation (rounded)
in 24 hours. It takes 27.32 days to complete one whole rotation.

What is a solar tsunami?
Explosions on the surface of the Sun, like earthquakes on the Earth, can create waves which travel round the Sun like Tsunamis do round the oceans of the Earth.
How many days does it take the Moon to revolve round the Earth and rotate once?
The Moon revolves round the Earth and rotates on its own axis once every 27.3 days.
Where do planets travel?
Planets travel round the Sun, but all orbit in different speed and length.For example;Earth: Orbit round the Sun=364 1/4 daysNeptune: Orbit round the Sun= 164 years 288 daysSaturn: Orbit round the Sun= 29 years 167 days

once a year... -_-
Does the moon travel round the earth?
No, it spins in place and we rotate around it.
How does a raindrop travel to earth?
Rain drop travel towards earth because of gravity and get round shape because of drag force... sohail peshawar
How long has it taken for the moon to travel this far?
as long as the earth's been round!
Why can't you travel in a straight line?

What is a solar tsunami?
Explosions on the surface of the Sun, like earthquakes on the Earth, can create waves which travel round the Sun like Tsunamis do round the oceans of the Earth.
The sun travels round the earth once every 24 hours?
No. The earth turns on its axis once in every 24hr period giving the appearance that the sun goes round us.
What system do you use to travel around Earth?
Basically one is provided with legs and you can use these to travel round the Earth, apart from the stretches of water where you have to get a boat and row.
