It does not. The Moon orbits the Earth every 26 days or so. (It's 29 days from full moon to full moon, because the Earth is moving in its orbit around the Sun, and it takes an extra couple of days for the Moon to get back into the same relative location from the Earth and Sun.)
Another viewpoint: The Moon's orbital period is synchronised with its rotation period.
It's because of gravitational effects called "tidal forces" acting for millions of years.
Eventually the Moon's rotation period has slowed until now it equals
the time taken to orbit the Earth.
So, the effect of this gravitational interaction between Earth and Moon has resulted in the Moon always showing the same face to Earth.
What else can I help you with?
Why is the Moon's orbit tilted?
Maybe because the earth's tilted orbital plane causes the moon to orbit tiled, if the earth was straight it has said that the moon would orbit straight line.
When traveling to space do astronauts travel away from Earth's orbit?
This depends on where the astronauts were headed to, If going to the moon, then no they do not leave earth's orbit. But if astronauts were to go to Mars, then yes. To go to other planets and to travel through space, Astronauts will leave Earth's orbit. When traveling to space from earth, Astronauts leave the atmosphere and will leave the orbit if necessary and if the travel distance is far enough.
What body in the solar system is one focus of the moon's orbit?
Earth is.
What is the position of moon in an orbit on a full moon day?
During a full moon, the Moon is positioned directly opposite the Sun in the sky, with the Earth positioned in between them. This alignment allows the Sun's light to fully illuminate the side of the Moon that faces Earth, making it appear bright and round. As a result, the full moon occurs when the Moon is at its full phase in its orbit around the Earth.
What is a full moon rising?
the full moon rising is the climax millimeter between the orbit of earth and the changes of the moon stages.
Does the moon orbit Earth or does the Earth orbit the moon?
The moon orbits Earth.
What is it called when the moon moves around the earth?
This is called its orbit. Strictly, the moon and the earth both orbit their common centre of mass. The path of the moon around Earth is elliptical orbit. It takes about 29 days to complete one orbit of earth by moon.
When does the moon orbit earth?
The moon is in constant orbit around the earth, all the time.
Do any moons orbit earth?
Yes. One moon orbit Earth (The moon)
Does the moon take to orbit the Earth?
the moon takes 27.32 days to orbit the earth
Days of the orbit of the moon to orbit the earth?
there are roughly 12.5 looner orbits to 1 orbit of the earth The moon takes 27.32 days to orbit the Earth.
Why is a month about 28 days long?

Does the moon do a full rotation every 12 hours and 25 min?
No. The Moon rotates synchronously - its rotational period is the same as its orbital period. So the same face of the Moon is always visible. Since it takes the Moon about 27 days to orbit the Earth once, that's also the time it takes for the Moon to rotate once.
Can the moon orbit around the sun?
No, the moon orbits around the Earth, not the sun. This is due to the gravitational pull between the Earth and the moon. The moon's orbit around the Earth is what causes its phases and affects tides on Earth.
What is the movement of the moon around earth called?
The movement of the Moon around the Earth is called lunar orbit. It is an elliptical path that the Moon follows as it revolves around the Earth.
Which of the following forces exerted by the earth on the moon keeps the moon in orbit?
The force that keeps the moon in orbit around the Earth is gravity. Specifically, the gravitational pull between the Earth and the moon is what keeps the moon in its elliptical orbit.
What is the shape of the moon's orbit around the Earth?
The shape of the moon's orbit around the Earth is an ellipse.
