Because the moon is tidally locked with the Earth its period of revolution is the same length as its orbit -- approximately 28 days.
The Moon completes its orbit around the Earth in approximately 27.3 days
Phases of the moon are caused by the revolution of the moon around the Earth and the revolution of the Earth around the sun. As long as the moon revolves around the Earth as it does, the lunar cycle from full to new to full again will take about 29½ days. We will be having about twelve and a third moon cycles every year until these facts change.
Yes it can, and it does. The moon rotates once every revolution, which is how we only see one side of the moon.

The Moon takes 27.3 days to go around the Earth once, but the time from new moon to new moon is 29.5 days. This is because while the Moon is going around the Earth, the Earth keeps moving going around the Sun. By the time the Moon has made exactly one orbit, the Earth has moved another 27.3 days along in its orbit, and it takes the Moon another 2.2 days to get back into the same relative arrangement of Sun-Moon-Earth.
About 27.3 days.
27.3 days to make a whole revolution. It also takes 27.3 for the moon to revolve on its axis.
It varies between 27.3 and 29.1 days. with a mean of about 28.5 days. The reasons for these time differences are the Moon's elliptical orbital track about Earth, and thereby the strength of gravitational attraction between the two bodies. Also the gravitational attraction due to the Sun. When at solar perigee gravity is strongest, so nearer and faster, at solar apogee gravity is weaker, so further away and slower.
A mean period of Lunar Revolution/Orbit is 28.5 days. Fastest is 27.32 days Slowest is 29.1 days
About 27 days, in both cases.
27.32 days
To correct your English . . It is not 'moon period; , but 'LUNAR Period'. 'Lunar is the adjective, and comes from Latin for Moon , which is 'Luna'. The Moon revolved/orbits the Earth once every 28.5 days as a mean period. Fastest revolution is 27.32 days and slowest revolution is 29.1 days.
The moon doens't rotate (from earth's perspetive). We always see the same side of the moon.
27.32 days
27.32 days
About 27 1/2 days.
The Moon completes its orbit around the Earth in approximately 27.3 days
