If you are actually talking about time, then first off: I want to tell you that that is a very faulty system of measuring it because that is a very very subjective measurement. Now if you mean minutes as in the smaller portion of degrees: well, then that is also very subjective upon what other object you are comparing it to because you need a center object which you described as the Earth, and two points which you only gave one which is the moon.

It depends on how fast you travel. Light takes about 1.8 seconds so that would be the best answer.

How many earth days is one revolution of the moon around the earth?

Ignoring the earth position relative to our sun, the moon takes 27 days 7 hours and 43 minutes to orbit the earth - the sidereal orbit (orbit relative to background stars). During this time, the earth has progressed around the sun a little, on its orbit around the sun. For the moon to get back to exactly the right phase, it takes a little longer, 29 days, 12 hours and 44 minutes in total from full moon to the next full moon. This is known as the synodic period. The moon will have made just over one orbit relative to the background stars, and will have moved round slightly to be in front of some different stars to those at the previous full moon.
