How long does moon complete its revolution around the earth?

The Moon completes its orbit around the Earth in approximately 27.3 days


Why moon phases continue?

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.


Why is the moon phase cycle longer than the Moon's revolution around earth?

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.


How long is a moon revolution?

Because the moon is tidally locked with the Earth its period of revolution is the same length as its orbit -- approximately 28 days.


What moon requires for one revolution around the earth.?

The Moon requires approximately 27.3 days to complete one revolution around the Earth, a period known as a sidereal month. However, due to the Earth's own movement around the Sun, the time from one full moon to the next (a synodic month) is about 29.5 days. The Moon's orbit is elliptical, which also affects its speed and distance from Earth during its revolution.
