It takes one "lunar month" of about 28 days (27.32 days)
The rotation of the moon on its axis, and its revolution (orbit around the Earth) each take the same amount of time. This is called "tidal locking" and means that one side of the Moon is always facing the Earth, while the other side (the far side, sometimes erroneously called the dark side) is always facing away. Because the Moon's orbit is not a perfect circle, and does not orbit directly over the equator, some areas along the "east and west" edges of the Moon will experience times when the Earth is visible and times when it is not.

If it takes earth one day to make complete rotation on its axis how long does it take earth to orbit the sun?
365 days, or a year.
How long does earth take to orbit around its axis?
It does NOT orbit on its axis, but rotates on its axis. It takes 24 hours, one day, to make one complete rotation. However, It does ORBIT the Sun. It takes the Earth 365.25 days, one year, for make one complete orbit of the Sun. Whilst it is making this orbit it is also rotating on its axis, as above.
When a planet spins on its axis this is called?
rotation (as opposed to orbiting, which describes the earth's movements around the sun)
What is the amount of time it takes earth to make one complete rotation and one complete revolution respectively?
rotation around the sun approx 365 rom cal days and one revolution approx 24 hours
What are the effects of rotation and revolution of the Earth and the effect of the tilt of Earth's axis?
the earth's revolution makes the years, the earth's rotations make the days and nights, the tilted axis makes the seasons
How long does it take make make to rotate on its axis?
it take Venus about 42 earth days to make a complete rotation on its axis
How long does the earth take to make one rotation on its axis?
Roughly 4 minutes less than 24 hours.
How long does it take for the Jupiter to make a rotation complete?
It takes approximately 10 hours for jupiter to spin on its axis
How long does it take for Ceres to make one complete turn on its axis?
Ceres sidereal rotation period is about 0.3781 days.
If it takes earth one day to make complete rotation on its axis how long does it take earth to orbit the sun?
365 days, or a year.
How many months does it take for the moon to make a complete rotation on its axis?
29 Earth days.
How many times does the earth make a complete rotation on its axis a month or in a year?
360 times
How long does it take venus to make one full rotation on its axis?
Venus, which rotates backwards in comparison to Earth, takes 243 days to make a full rotation on its axis.
How long does it take the moon to make a full rotation on its axis?
27.3 days.
How long does earth take to orbit around its axis?
It does NOT orbit on its axis, but rotates on its axis. It takes 24 hours, one day, to make one complete rotation. However, It does ORBIT the Sun. It takes the Earth 365.25 days, one year, for make one complete orbit of the Sun. Whilst it is making this orbit it is also rotating on its axis, as above.
How long does it takes Neptune to make one Rotation on its axis In Earth days?
165 years
How many times do earth make a full rotation on its axis?
The Earth takes 23 hours, 56 minutes to complete a sidereal orbit (the length of time the constellations appear to take for one rotation), but 1 day, or one rotation of the Earth on its axis is 24 hours.
