How many years does it take for the moon to go around the sun?
The moon goes around the earth. The earth goes around the sun in a year. So, for purposes of astronomy, the earth and moon are one unit going around the sun. Therefore the moon goes around the sun in one year.
Why does the moon stay on its orbit?
it actually kinda doesn't. the moon was part of earth many million years ago and is getting farther and farther away each year. it goes around because the earth still has a big pull on the moon.

How far does the moon move away from the Earth in on year?
About 1 second away every 50,000 years
How many revolutions does the moon make around the earth in a calendar year?
The moon orbits the earth once every 28 days and therefore does just over 13 revolutions each year

How many year s it takes the moon to go around earth?
The moon goes around the earth thirteen times in a year.
How many times does the moon travel the earth a year?
The Moon orbits the Earth about 12 and 1/2 times in one year.
How many days in one moon year?
A "Moon year" is almost exactly the same as an Earth year. That's about 365 Earth days. The Earth and Moon orbit the Sun in about 365.25 Earth days. So the answer is: about 365. If you mean how many "Moon days" in one Moon year, that's different. The Moon rotates in about 27.3 Earth days. That's one definition of a "Moon day". In that case the answer is about 365/27.3 days = about 13.37 days.
Will the earth and the moon join?
Not hardly. The moon is moving away from the Earth at a rate of a few inches per year. In about 25000 years, the moon may have the potential to escape the gravity of the Earth.

How far will the moon have receded from the earth in 1000 years?
It seems that the Moon recedes from Earth at a rate of 38 mm a year. That makes it 38,000 mm in 1000 years. That's 38 meters.
How far will the moon move away from the earth in 1000000 years?
The moon is drifting away from earth at a rate of about 38 millimeters per year. So in 1 million years, the moon will have drifted another 38 kilometers or abour 24 miles further from Earth.
How many inches does the moon move away from the earth each year?
The moon is moving away from the Earth at a rate of about 3.8 centimetres - or 1.5 inches - per year.
How many times has the moon revolved around the Earth since the last ice age 10000 years ago?
10,000 years is 3,652,500 days. (10,000 x 365) + (10,000 / 4). The moon takes approximately 27.3 days to orbit the Earth. Therefore the moon has completed 133,791 orbits of the Earth in the 10,000 year time period.
