The moon revolves around the earth once each 27.32 days. (rounded)
The moon circles the earth once every 28 days approximately. It keeps the same face towards the earth at all times and so as it circles the earth this means that, relative to the sun, it rotates once on its axis in this time. Therefore the moon shows its rear side towards the sun when it is a new moon (and the face of the moon facing earth is dark), and its earth-facing sun towards the sun when it's full moon (and the moon is bright). This new moon and full moon cycle lasts once every fourteen days. Therefore the moon's night is 14 earth days long, and its day is also 14 earth days long.
27.32 days (rounded)
The moon takes about 27.3 days to rotate once on its axis. This rotation period is almost the same as its orbital period around the Earth, which is why we always see the same face of the moon from Earth.
The moon and Earth are essentially a single system that orbits the sun once a year.
