How often does the moon travel round earth?

The sidereal revolution time of the Moon is 27.32 days. This is the length of time it revolves relative to distant stars. Of more use, however, is the synodic period, which is 29.53 days, the average length of time it takes to repeat a phase. The reason for the difference between these two times is that the Moon is revolving around the Earth, at the same time the Earth is rotating about its axis, at the same time that the Earth is revolving around the Sun.


Who discovered that the Earth was rotating and revolving around the sun?

What would happen if earth stops rotating and revolving?

If the earth stopped revolving, it would be drawn into the sun. It could crash into Venus or Mercury on its way into the Sun, or it could just crash into the sun and be vaporised. In the circumstances, whether or not it stopped rotating is a bit irrelevant. Nevertheless, since you asked, one side of the earth, facing the Sun would heat up while the other cooled.The main problem is if it stopped revolving. It would be attracted by the Sun, fall towards it, and fall into the Sun in a few months.
