The moon has a 'lunar day' of approximately 29.5 Earth days, this is the time taken for it to complete one synodic rotation, the length of one full cycle of moon phases.

During this time its orbit takes it around the Earth with a complete orbit taking a period very close to that of it's rotational period; this is why the same face always faces Earth. However it should be noted that, while one side may face the Earth, there is no dark side of the moon; with only a few craters remaining in constant shade.

How many days in one moon year?

A "Moon year" is almost exactly the same as an Earth year. That's about 365 Earth days. The Earth and Moon orbit the Sun in about 365.25 Earth days. So the answer is: about 365. If you mean how many "Moon days" in one Moon year, that's different. The Moon rotates in about 27.3 Earth days. That's one definition of a "Moon day". In that case the answer is about 365/27.3 days = about 13.37 days.
