The moon rotates approximately once each time with each orbit of the earth. Since the Earth is also orbiting the sun, the period between full moons is slightly more than the period for a full rotation. It takes the moon about 27.32 days to rotate once (relative to the stars). It takes about 29.53 days for the moon to complete one lunar cycle - such as from full moon to full moon, so it makes about 1.08 rotations from one full moon to the next.
