Moons and satellites in earth?
The Earth has one moon, called the Moon. However, the term "satellite" is used more broadly in astronomy to refer to any natural or artificial object that orbits around a larger object. So, technically, the Moon could be considered a natural satellite of Earth.
What is the term that relates to the moon farthest distance from the earth?
That point in the moon's orbit is called the "apogee".
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.
Pertaining to the moon?
The moon is Earth's only natural satellite, orbiting around it every 27.3 days. Its gravitational pull causes ocean tides and affects Earth's rotation. The moon has different phases like full moon, new moon, and crescent, depending on its position relative to the sun and Earth.
How many times does the moon travel around the earth in a month?
The moon goes around the earth once in just over 27 days. So if the moon is between us and the sun (a "new moon") in ~27 days we'll have another new moon. So the moon takes about one month to make a full orbit. Thus the origin of the term "month" as essentially a shortening of "moon-th"
What is meant by the term the Moon has an orbit around the earth?
I believe it's not a term but if it is it may have something to do with the Moon orbiting the Earth.

What is the definition of a supermoon?
"Supermoon" is the recent hyperbole term for the perigee full moon. The Moon's orbit around the Earth is an ellipse; all orbits are ellipses. When the full moon happens at or around the time of perigee (closest point of approach to the Earth), the Moon appears to be about 10% bigger and brighter than it would appear when the full moon is at apogee (farthest point from the Earth). Perigee full moons happen every year, so the term "supermoon" is silly.
What term describes the moon phase in which most of the side of the moon facing the earth illuminated?
Full Moon. A New Moon is when you can't see a moon at all.
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 new moon like?
The "New Moon" is just a term we call the moon when it is between Earth and the Sun and is therefore not visible. Every month the moon goes around the Earth one complete orbit. When it's between us and the sun, the sun's glare is so bright that we can't see the moon. A day or two later, as the moon has moved around Earth a little bit, we begin to see the moon as a very thin crescent.
What do you call the moon when the whole disc is visible from earth?
The term for the moon when the whole disc is visible from Earth is "full moon." During a full moon, the sun, Earth, and moon are aligned in a way that the illuminated side of the moon is facing the Earth.

What is the term when the moon is close to the earth?
Perigee, "peri-" for close, and "gee" as an abbreviation for the gravity of the Earth. The point at which the Moon is farthest away is called "apogee". The points in Earth's orbit around the Sun when the Earth is closest and farthest are perihelion and aphelion, from the Greek word "Helios" for the Sun.
What is the term for when the earth sun and moon are aligned?
The term is syzygy (astronomy) or a solar eclipse.
