The Earth and the Moon can be treated as a binary system. They orbit the Sun together in a period of 365.24 days (~ 1 year). In that period the Moon orbits the Earth some 13 times.
On diagrams the Earth's orbit is shown as a smooth ellipse. However, in reality that smooth ellipse is the mean track of the binary system of Earth & Moon. The Earth and its satellite , move in and out of this smooth elliptical curve, because of gravitational attraction and movement between the two.

How long is the moon's orbital period around the sun?
The Earth and Moon orbit the Sun together, a short distance apart compared with the size of the orbit. So, the Moon's orbital period is more or less identical with the Earth's. That's about 365.25 Earth days.
How many earth days equal one moon?
The Moon rotates with respect to the Sun in approximately 29.5 days. This is called the "synodic period",
How fast does the moon revolve?
The Moon revolves around the Earth at 1.022 km/s or 2,286 mph.The Moon revolves around the Earth with an orbital period of 27.321 days. However, the synodic period, which is the period it takes for the phase relationship between the Earth, Moon, and Sun to repeat, is 29.531 days.
What is synodic month means?
It is the average time of the revolution of the moon around the earth with respect to a line joining the sun and the earth. It is the period the moon takes to pass through all its phases.

What is the time that the moon orbits the sun?
On the average, 365.24 days ... exactly the same as the earth's orbital period. If it were not exactly the same as the earth's orbital period, then the moon would either lead or lag the earth in the trip around the sun. It would certainly become noticeable ... if not immediately, then certainly over the course of a few hundred years. But that's not happening.
