Whereas the Earth rotates in less than 0.003 of the time it takes to complete
its orbital revolution, the moon performs those two motions in precisely the
same amount of time . . . 27.32 days.
It takes the moon about 27.3 days to revolve once around the Earth. This period is known as the sidereal month.
The moon goes into an odd number of phases, and the fact that it takes 27.3 days to do a full rotation around its axis and to revolve around us, going through all the phases.
Yes, the moon rotates on its axis as it orbits Earth, but it rotates at the same rate it revolves around Earth, which is why we always see the same side of the moon facing us. This phenomenon is called synchronous rotation.
The moon revolves around the Earth and the Earth revolves around the sun. The moon does not revolve around the sun.
The moon's orbital period around Earth is about 27.3 days. This is known as the sidereal month.
Yes.
About 27.3 days.
Both of these periods are exactly equal ... about 27.32 days.
They are exactly the same.
27.3 days to make a whole revolution. It also takes 27.3 for the moon to revolve on its axis.
The moon revolves around its axis and it orbits the earth. The earth and the moon orbit the sun. Neither the earth nor the moon revolves around the sun; however, the two of them take 365 days to complete an orbit around the sun.
The Moon orbits the Earth. The Earth orbits around The Sun. The Earth revolves (spins) around it's own axis.
about 30 days :)
It takes 1 day or 24 hours for the moon to spin on it's axis. It takes 28 days or 27.322(to be exact) or you could say 1 month for moon to revolve around the Earth. THE REVOLUTION!
The earth's moon rotates on its axis in exactly the same period of time required for it to revolve around the earth once in its orbit ... 27.32 days.
It takes 27.3 days for the Moon to revolve around the Earth, and the same amount of time to rotate on its axis.
Don't be dumb.
