The Earth rotates ONCE a day (24 hours). So in a 30/31 day month it will have rotated 30/31 times respectively.
It is the rotation that gives us Day & Night.

What is the difference between a year and a month?
A month is when the earth does one full rotation around the earth. A year is when the earth does one full revolution around the sun
How long does it take for the moon to spin once on its own axis?
The moon spins once on its axis every month; one sidereal period around earth is equal to one complete rotation on its axis. If the moon did not rotate, all of its surface would be visible from earth over the course of a month.
How does the month happen?
that the moon rotates around the earth for 28 days
Why would an observer on the Earth see a complete cycle of the phases of the moon in approximately one month?
because of the tilt of both the moon and the earth on their rotation axis
What causes a year a Lunar month a day?
Sort of. The definition of a month is one moonth ... one lunar cycle.
How many complete rotation has the earth mad so far this month?
The Earth does a complete rotation on its axis every day. The Earth's rotation is the reason why we have night and day. So, if today is the 18th, the Earth has rotated 18 times this month.
What is the length of rotation of the earth's moon?
the length of the moon's rotation is 27.3 days (about 1 month)
How many times does the earth make a complete rotation on its axis a month?
There is approximately one complete rotation per day (more precisely, once every 23h 56m). A month can have 28, 29, 30 or 31 days, so take your pick.
What is the difference between a year and a month?
A month is when the earth does one full rotation around the earth. A year is when the earth does one full revolution around the sun

Why do eclipse not happen monthly?
For a solar eclipse, the Moon has to get between Earth and Sun.For a lunar ecipse, the Moon has to get into Earth's shadow.None of these happen every month. This is because Earth, Sun, and Moon are not perfectly aligned (not in the same plane).
Do adhiki masss added to every third year in the India calendar?
Concept of ADHIK MASS in in Lunar Calender-The lunar calendar is based on the moon's rotation around the Earth. The lunar month corresponds to one complete rotation of Moon around the Earth. Since this period of rotation of moon around the earth varies, the duration of lunar month also varies. On average, the lunar month has about 29 ½ days. In addition to moon's rotation around the earth, the lunar year is based on earth's rotation around the Sun. In general, the lunar year has twelve lunar months of approximately 354 days, thus making it shorter by about 11 days than the solar year. However, the lunar calendar accounts for this difference by adding an extra lunar month about once every 2½ years. This extra lunar month is known as the "Adhik Mas" in India (Adhik means extra and the Mas means month). The concept of placing of the extra month, meaning why and when should it be inserted between certain lunar months is as follow.
Why does not earth experience a lunar eclipse every month?
Eclipses do not happen every month because the Moon is in an orbit that is inclined to the plane of the Earth's orbit, the ecliptic. So although the Moon passes behind the Earth (as seen from the Sun) every month, it usually passes above or below the Earth's shadow. For a lunar eclipse, Full Moon has to occur when the Moon is crossing the ecliptic, when it is said to be at a node.
Can an eclipse happen every month?
nope
How many times does the earth make a complete rotation on its axis a month or in a year?
360 times
How much time earth take to compete rotation?
it takes 1 full month to rotate
How often does the moon rotate on it's axis?
The moon's orbit is tidally locked, with the same side always facing the earth. It follows that it rotates once per lunar cycle. One revolution around the earth equals one rotation on its axis. If the moon did not rotate, then every part of the moon would face the earth at one point or another during a month.
