The Apollo astronauts took about 3 days to go to the Moon, and 3 days to come back.

However, if we had enough fuel and a powerful enough spaceship, we could fly to the Moon in about an hour. But that isn't possible with our current rocket technology.

That all depends on what your speed is, which in turn, we suppose, depends on

how much luggage you have.

If you drive to the moon at 60 miles per hour and travel a straight, point-to-point route,

the trip would take you something like 238,000 minutes, or about 165 days.

If you somehow worked out a way to travel at the speed of light, then it would take you

about 1.28 seconds.

As you can see, there's a lot of wiggle room there, depending on your speed.

Naturally, you'd want to travel at the speed of light if you had the choice, but

on the downside, your hat would keep blowing off.

The rotation of the moon on its axis, and the revolution of the moon in its orbit

around the earth, both have the same identical period: 27.32 days (rounded)

The moon rotates once a month, exactly the same as its rotation time around the earth, so that the same side is always facing the earth. We have only seen the other side of the moon from space ships.

The moon revolves around the earth every 27 1/3 days and one lunar month is 29 1/2 days.

============================================

The moon's periods of rotation and revolution are both

27days 7hours 43.1minutes (rounded)

The "phases" of the moon, as seen from the earth, repeat with a period of

29days 12hours 44minutes (rounded)

About 27 days. But a full moon cycle - e.g., from one full moon to the next - is about 29 1/2 days.

The moon's orbital period is 27 days, 7 hours and 43.1 minutes. So this would give 655 hours and 43.1 minutes.

The moon completes one orbital revolution around the earth,

and also completes one spin on its own axis, in 27.32 days.

Is the orbit of moon around the earth is elliptical or round?

As seen by an observer on the Earth, the Moon's apparent orbit is distinctly elliptical. The orbit is subject to many perturbations and variations because of the Earth's elliptical motion around the Sun, and the fluid tidal envelope sloshing around the Earth. The eccentricity of the Moon's orbit varies between 0.026 and 0.077 .
