27.32 days, its rotation period is also 27.32 days.
Because the moon is tidally locked with the Earth its period of revolution is the same length as its orbit -- approximately 28 days.
The moon doens't rotate (from earth's perspetive). We always see the same side of the moon.
it takes about 28 to 29 days for the moon to revolt around the earth!

When the moon's period of rotation is equal to its period of revolution, it results in synchronous rotation. This means the same side of the moon always faces the Earth.
From the point of view of a person on earth, the moon's period of rotation on its axis and revolution around earth are both 27.32 days. From the point of view of a person on the moon, the period of rotation on its axis and revolution around earth are both 27.32 [earth] days, and the period of revolution around the sun averages 365.24 earth days.
