655.72 hours. When talking about one body revolving in orbit around another, the correct term would be revolution, rather than rotation - which is a rotation about its own axis. In the case of the moon, these two actions happen in the same amount of time, giving the effect of the same side of the moon always faces Earth, regardless of its position relative to Earth.
