Is the period of time it takes the moon to revolve once around the earth about a month?

The period of time it takes the moon to revolve once around the earth is about a month. It takes approximately 27.3 days, which results in different phases of the moon.


What is the approximate time from a new moon to a full moon?

1 week, because a 'moon cycle' takes about 2 weeks


Why does it take 28 days for a full moon?

It takes about 28 days for a full moon to occur because that is the length of time it takes for the moon to complete one orbit around the Earth. This period is known as a lunar month or synodic month.


Are you seeing into the past when you look at the moon?

Yes but only about 1.3 seconds ago as this is how long light takes to reach us from the Moon.

Time it takes the moon to rotate on its axis?

The moon rotates at the same speed as it orbits the earth therefore it takes 27.32 days. This is the same time it takes the moon to orbit the earth. (it's also the reason we always see the same side of the moon).


Is the Moon's orbital period greatest at the full moon?

The moon's "orbital period" is the length of time it takes the moon to make onecomplete revolution around the earth. That period of time is about two days lessthan the time it takes for the moon to go through all of its phases.

How much time the moon ray takes to come in the Earth?

Why does it take so long for a new moon to get to full moon?

That's the time it takes the Moon to go (approximately) half way round the Earth. The time an object takes to orbit Earth depends on its distance from Earth.

What is the difference between a Sidereal month and lunar month?

What is the Moon's rotational period in years?

The rotation of the moon, or the time it takes to rotate on it's axis exactly once, is 27.322 days (rounded), and the moon's orbital period, or the time the moon takes to complete one full revolution around the Earth, exactly the same. That's why the Moon appears to always show the same face. We see the same side of the moon and never get to view the far side from Earth.
