No. The Moon revolves around the Earth, not the other way around, once every 27.3 days. That is its orbital period. Its synodic period, the period where the phase of the Earth, Moon, and Sun repeats, is 29.53 days.

The moon is in orbit around the earth, as the earth orbits the sun. Throughout the year the earth will come between to the moon and sun, and may cause a lunar eclipse - if the alignment is just right. The earths shadow is cast upon the full moon. The orbits are not exactly circular and on the same plane, so often a lunar eclipse wont occur.

When the moon comes between the earth and sun, a solar eclipse might occur - again, only if the alignment is exactly right.

Yes.

The Moon was most likely created by a collision between some large object and Earth during Earth's formation over 4 billion years ago. Since that time, the Moon was moved farther away from the Earth at a rate of about 3.8 centimeters per year while also slowing down Earth's rotation slightly. The moon has always been closer to Earth, and has been continuously traveling farther and farther away over billions of years.

Give or take a few hours or minutes, yes the moon completes one orbital cycle around the Earth every month. Also, the moon rotates around its own axis once a month also. This is why it always appears that we always see the same side of the moon every night.

It isn't all that rare, on average, about every 29 months or so (just over 2 years).

Approximately between . . . . . every 29.531 days

Exactly between . . . . . an average of 2.9 times each year

The Sun never passes between the Moon and the Earth. If it did, then both

bodies would be inside the Sun, and we could all kiss our Wiki goodbye.

What happens is that an eclipse of the Sun can occur.
