As a rule, no. When astronauts have gone to the moon, or when they spend time at the space station, time goes by virtually the same way for them as for the rest of us on earth. There are some relativistic affects, but they are insignificant. When astronauts begin to travel at velocities that are significant proportions of the speed of light, then they will experience real differences in the time that goes by for them compared to the passage of time on earth.

Why is a day on the moon equal to a month on earth?
It really does not, but it is close to a month. The moon always faces the same way to the earth as it goes around the earth. So the Moon day is the same as its orbit around the Earth, Roughly 29 days.
How long is a synodic month?
A synodic month is about 29.53 days long. It is the length of time it takes for the Moon to return to the same position in the sky, relative to the Sun, as viewed from Earth. This is slightly longer than the Moon's orbital period due to the Earth's orbit around the Sun.
How does a day on the moon compare to a year on the moon?
A day on the moon is about 29.5 Earth days long, which is roughly equivalent to a lunar month. A year on the moon, however, is about the same length as a year on Earth, as it takes the moon approximately 27.3 Earth days to complete one orbit around the Earth.
Why is a day in the moon the same length as a year on earth?
A day on the Moon (about 29.5 Earth days) is the same length as a year on Earth (365.25 days) because of a phenomenon called synchronous rotation. The Moon's rotation period is the same as its orbit around Earth, causing one side of the Moon to always face Earth, leading to equal lengths of day and year.
Why is a lunar month longer than the number of days it takes the moon to orbit the earth?
The lunar month refers to the time it takes the moon to get back to the same phase (for instance, from one New Moon to the next). The moon needs to get to the same part of its orbit where the Sun is in the same position for an observer on Earth. The Moon has to take another 2.2 days to "catch up."
Why can you not stand on earth and see the far side of the moon?
The Moon is tidally locked to Earth; the Moon's "day" and the Moon's month are the same length. So the "near side" of the Moon always faces the Earth, and the "far side" always faces away from Earth.
Why is a day in moon the same length as a year on earth?
Because the Moon Turns Slower Then The Earth.
Why is a day on the moon equal to a month on earth?
It really does not, but it is close to a month. The moon always faces the same way to the earth as it goes around the earth. So the Moon day is the same as its orbit around the Earth, Roughly 29 days.
What is the length of a month on the Moon?
The complete cycle of the moon we see on earth in phases: New moon, First quarter, full moon, third quarter. & back to new moon. This cycle is 29.5 days. Some might consider this a "moon month" {moon Moonth}, However each of the earth months have the same number of days any where in the solar System nay Universe.
How long is a synodic month?
A synodic month is about 29.53 days long. It is the length of time it takes for the Moon to return to the same position in the sky, relative to the Sun, as viewed from Earth. This is slightly longer than the Moon's orbital period due to the Earth's orbit around the Sun.
What hallf of the moon is facing Earth during a New Moon?
The same half as the rest of the month. The Moon is tidally locked to Earth, and rotates at the same rate that it moves around the Earth, so the same side always faces the Earth.
How does a day on the moon compare to a year on the moon?
A day on the moon is about 29.5 Earth days long, which is roughly equivalent to a lunar month. A year on the moon, however, is about the same length as a year on Earth, as it takes the moon approximately 27.3 Earth days to complete one orbit around the Earth.

The Moon's rotation period is the same as its orbit around Earth, causing one side of the Moon to always face Earth, leading to equal lengths of day and year.
Length of new moon to the next?
The time between a new moon and the next new moon is approximately 29.5 days. This period is known as a lunar month or synodic month and represents the time it takes for the Moon to return to the same position relative to the Sun as seen from Earth.
Why is a lunar month longer than the number of days it takes the moon to orbit the earth?
The lunar month refers to the time it takes the moon to get back to the same phase (for instance, from one New Moon to the next). The moon needs to get to the same part of its orbit where the Sun is in the same position for an observer on Earth. The Moon has to take another 2.2 days to "catch up."
To an observer on the moon able to see earth how long would one full cycle of earth phases be?
It would be about 29.5 earth days. Or, precisely the same length of time as a full cycle of moon phases.
How does it take for the to rotate on its axis?
The moon has an axis, and as the moon orbits the Earth, it keeps the same face toward the earth. So the moon rotates on its axis the same length of time it takes to rotate the earth -28 days.
