It takes about 27.3 days for the Moon to orbit the Earth exactly one time. During that orbit, however, the Earth has moved 27.3 days along in its own orbit around the Sun, so the time between "new moons" is 29.5 days.

How long does it takes to moon to oribts the sun?
the moon does not orbit the sun (directly at least), it orbits earth. but technically the moon orbits the sun in 1 year, or 365 days, the same time as Earth.
How long is it that it takes the moon to revolve around the sun?
The Moon orbits the Earth, and that takes 27 days to complete an orbit.Since the Earth orbits the Sun, the time taken for the Moon to go oncearound the Sun is the same as for the Earth. a year.
What is the time period taken by the moon to rotate?
Every 28 days, or a month, the moon rotates entirely around the Earth. The moon orbits the Earth, and the Earth orbits the Sun.
If sun is to solar as moon is to orbit lunar planet space?
Please ask only ONE question at a time, do not add more questions in the answer section. The answer to "Sun is to solar as moon is to what?" is "as moon is to lunar."
How does the earth sun and moon move around each other?
The sun does not orbit or move around the Earth and moon because the Earth has to orbit the sun while the moon orbits the earth.
Where is the moon in its orbits at the time of a solar eclipse?
Right between the sun and the earth.
How does the moon and sun appear at the same time?
the moon is not a fixed point in the sky it orbits around the earth like the earth orbits around the sun the moon is not in geometric orbit meaning that it rotates around the the earth it takes about 28 days for the moon to orbit the earth so the moon will be up during the day time about 14 days out of every 28 days
Why do you have days and years?
They are just 'natural' time periods. The Earth orbits the sun once a year. The moon orbits the Earth roughly once a month, and the Earth turns on its axis once a day !
How many earth days is one year on the moon?
If a "day" is the time from one sunrise to the next, then on the moon, that's roughly 29 earth days.
Why does an eclipse not occur every time the moon orbits the earth?
because the moon dies in the rain and hail and grows a ball of fire
The moon orbits the earth once every what?
27.32 days. During that time, the Earth moves about 1/13th of the way around its orbit, and it takes the Moon another 2+ days to "catch up" to be in the same relative alignment of Earth-Moon-Sun. So the Moon orbits the Earth in 27.32 days, but the time between full moons is 29.5 days.
What is meant by very eccentric orbit?
it's where the sun,earth and moon orbits all at one time!
