How many earh days equals one moon day?

Answer 1

The Moon does not have day and night in the way that we do. Because of the speed of it's rotation around the Earth, and the speed of the Earth's rotation, one side of the moon is in permanent darkness, while the other is in permanent light.

Answer 2

The moon moves with us around the Sun, so it will complete one trip around the Sun (1 year) in the same time it takes the Earth to complete a year. So, I guess the answer would be 365.24 days.

Answer 3

The Moon is tidally locked to the Earth, so that the same side of the Moon always faces Earth. Since the Moon orbits the Earth in 27.32 days, that's also the time for one revolution of the Moon.

Answer 4

The Apollo spacecraft took three days to go from the Earth to the Moon.

If we could build a spacecraft that could accelerate continuously at one gravity, we could get to the Moon in an hour. But at the moment, we have no idea how to build a spacecraft like that.

Answer 5

Same as for the Earth - a full year, 365 1/4 days.

Same as for the Earth - a full year, 365 1/4 days.

Same as for the Earth - a full year, 365 1/4 days.

Answer 6

Previous answers was:

365 days, it goes around the sun at the same time as the earth.

Although this is true, let me add something...

If you are counting days as sunrise to sunset on the Moon, then you need to

consider the fact that the Moon has only 13 days in a year. So if you were to

live on the Moon you would count 13 lunar days to go around the Sun.

I'll explain why....

The Moon revolves around the Earth once every 28 days. It also rotates once in

28 days. This is why the same side always faces the Earth. We call the other

side the dark side of the Moon because we never see it.

Okay, so if the Moon takes 28 Earth days for one Moon day, then divide 365.25

(adjusting for Leap Year) by 28. That comes to 13.04 days for a Lunar Year.

====================

A fly on the wall added:

I get 13.369, using the more accurate period of the moon's revolution: 27.32 Earth days.

Answer 7

The moon orbits the Earth constantly, at every moment of every day of

the year, 24/7/365 .

It takes 27.32 days to complete one full orbit around the Earth, and so

it completes 13.37 of them in a year's time.

Answer 8

The amount of earth days that are in 1 moon year is 9,855 earth days because one day on the moon is 27 days on earth so that means that if 1 year on the moon is 9,855 days on earth it means one year on the moon is 27 years on earth because 1 x 365 is 365 so that is one year and that is one moon day and 365 x 27 is 9,855 so 365 days on the moon is 9,855 days on the earth so there is 9,855 days on earth every 365 days on moon.

Answer 9

One moon day is approximately equivalent to 29.5 Earth days.

Answer 10

Same as for the Earth - a full year, 365 1/4 days.
