Does the earth spin on its axis every28 days?
No. Each of those "days" of which the question speaks is the length of time it takes for the earth to spin on its axis. The question is actually referring to the moon, which takes 27.32 days to spin once on its axis.
Does the moon remain still as it orbits around the earth?
The moon's orbital speed around the Earth is about 1.02 Km/s. Think carefully about the question. Orbiting is a motion, so the moon cannot possibly be still while it orbits. Perhaps you are wondering about the moon spinning on its axis. It is easy to see that some people might think that the moon does not spin on its axis, since the same face orients toward earth all the time. However, the moon does have to spin on its axis, one time for every orbit. This is why the same face orients toward earth all the time.
Does the moon spin on axes?
Yes, the moon rotates aound it's axis, but it doees that in the same time as it orbits our planet - this is why only one side of the moon faces us (the near side).
Time it takes the earth to spin once on its axis?
24 hours = 1day for it to spin around once on its axis
How many times does the moon spin around the earth in a full rotation?
a more accurate answer is The moon circles the Earth once for every time the moon spins on its axis so the same side is always toward the Earth.
Does a day need time for the sun to drift completely around the sky or the moon to drift completely around the sky or the earth to turn completely on its axis?
A day is defined by the time it takes the earth to spin once around it's axis.
