How many hours does it take for the moon to orbit earth once?

Answer 1

The Apollo astronauts took about 3 days to go to the Moon, and 3 days to come back.

However, if we had enough fuel and a powerful enough spaceship, we could fly to the Moon in about an hour. But that isn't possible with our current rocket technology.

Answer 2

The moon revolves around the earth every 27 1/3 days and one lunar month is 29 1/2 days.

============================================

The moon's periods of rotation and revolution are both

27days 7hours 43.1minutes (rounded)

The "phases" of the moon, as seen from the earth, repeat with a period of

29days 12hours 44minutes (rounded)

Answer 3

That all depends on what your speed is, which in turn, we suppose, depends on

how much luggage you have.

If you drive to the moon at 60 miles per hour and travel a straight, point-to-point route,

the trip would take you something like 238,000 minutes, or about 165 days.

If you somehow worked out a way to travel at the speed of light, then it would take you

about 1.28 seconds.

As you can see, there's a lot of wiggle room there, depending on your speed.

Naturally, you'd want to travel at the speed of light if you had the choice, but

on the downside, your hat would keep blowing off.

Answer 4

The moon rotates once a month, exactly the same as its rotation time around the earth, so that the same side is always facing the earth. We have only seen the other side of the moon from space ships.

Answer 5

The rotation of the moon on its axis, and the revolution of the moon in its orbit

around the earth, both have the same identical period: 27.32 days (rounded)

Answer 6

About 27 days. But a full moon cycle - e.g., from one full moon to the next - is about 29 1/2 days.

Answer 7

It takes the moon approximately 27.3 days (about 654 hours) to orbit around the Earth once.

Answer 8

The moon completes both one orbital revolution of earth

and one axial rotation in 27.32 days. (rounded)

Answer 9

28 days
One 28 to 29 day month. The Moon also circles the Earth in exactly the same amount of time.

Answer 10

The moon completes one orbital revolution of the earth in 27.32 days. (rounded)

That's the equivalent of about 655.7 hours. (rounded)
