it becomes a full moon but sometimes the moon becomes full twice.
The Moon goes around the Earth every 29 days 12 hours and 44 minutes on average.
The moon orbits around the Earth approximately once every 27.3 days. This period is known as a synodic month or lunar month.
No. The moon takes about 27 days to go around the earth.
The moon's orbital period around Earth is about 27.3 days. This is known as the sidereal month.
ONCE, that is where the different sizes of the moon come from. Full moon occurs once a month. The earth turns once each day on its own axis making day and night occur. The earth revolves around the sun once each year.
The Moon.
the moon orbits the EARTH every month.

The Moon orbit the the earth every 29.5 days.

The moon rotates about the earth every 27.5 days. The earth in turn revolves around the sun in 365.25 days.
it doesnt the moon travels around the earth and it takes 28 days for the MOON to orbit the EARTH. The earth only orbits the sun along with every other planet in out galaxy x============================================Another contributor attempted to clarify the discussion:The earth and moon both orbit their common center of mass once every 27.32 days.At the same time, the sun and the center of mass of the earth-moon system bothorbit their common center of mass, once every 365.23 days.
The Moon is tidally locked with the Earth, meaning it rotates about its axis at the same rate as it revolves around the Earth. For this reason, the same side of the Moon always faces Earth and the Moon slips away about one inch every year.
A full moon happens when the earth is between the sun and the moon, around the time in the month when the three bodies come as close to a straight line as they can get. The plane that contains the earth's orbit is not the same plane that contains the moon's orbit. So the sun, earth and moon cannot form a straight line every month during the full moon. If there were a straight line formed every month, then there would be an eclipse of the moon during every full moon. When a full moon happens at one of the two 'nodes', where the moon's orbit passes through the earth's orbital plane, there will also be an eclipse of the moon that month. So, strange as it may seem, there are slight variations on the actual 'fullness' of full moons from month to month.
The Moon's orbit is at an angle to the orbit of the Earth around the Sun so most often the full/new moon is 'above' or 'below' the line directly from the Sun to the Earth so lunar/solar eclipses do not occur every month.
