How long does it take the moon to make one revolution around the sun?

Answer 1

The Moon and the Earth acts like a binary system, and move together round the Sun.

Diagrams showing the Earth's orbit around the Sun are not exact.

The Earth moves in and out of this mean track because the Moon is also pulling us in and out of this track.

The Moon also lies at a 5 degree planar angle to the plane of the Earth/Sun. So we actually move up and down from this mean plane/track. It's like a dance in space, with the Moon.

Since the Earth has a year of 365 days to orbit the Sun , it takes the Moon as its binary partner with it. So the Moon also takes 1 year to orbit the Sun. In that time the Moon and Earth have revolved around each other approximately 13 times, (13 Mo(o)nths).

The actual track of the Earth is not the smooth ellipse as seen in diagrams, but an ellipse were the track-line weaves in and out and up and down of the mean track-line. Similarly for the Moon, but the Moon's mean track-line is more acute , because the Moon is less massive then the Earth.

Yes!!! As I said above, the Earth and Moon 'dance through space' around the Sun.

Answer 2

The moon is on the same orbit as the Earth around the sun. It takes it a year to make that trip.

Answer 3

The moon completes one orbit around the sun in about 27.3 days. This period is known as the sidereal month.
