The Moon orbits the Earth, and tags along after the Earth. It takes one year - 365.25 days - for the Earth to orbit the Sun once, so that's the number for the Moon as well.
a year
The Sun does not revolve around itself; it rotates on its axis. It takes about 25 Earth days for the Sun to complete one rotation.
That's approximately the time it takes the Moon to orbit the Earth.
Both of these periods are exactly equal ... about 27.32 days.
For the Earth, it takes 365 days to revolve around the Sun.
It take 27.32 days for the moon to revolve around the earth. At the same time, the Earth and moon revolve as a bound pair around the sun every 365.25 days.
Well the moon revolves around the earth in about a month. And it doesn't revolve around the sun. Thus, it takes the moon the same time it takes the Earth to revolve around the sun. So about 365.26 days
The period of time it takes the moon to revolve once around the earth is about a month. It takes approximately 27.3 days, which results in different phases of the moon.
As the Moon revolves around the Earth, the time taken to revolve around the Sun is the same as the Earth ~365.25 days or one year.
As the Moon revolves around the Earth, the time taken to revolve around the Sun is the same as the Earth ~365.25 days or one year.
They are exactly the same.
28 days.
one month
24 hours or 1 day.
The moon's synodic period, the time it takes to come back to the same phase relative to the Earth and Sun, varies but, on average, is 29.53 days.
365.24 days, exactly the same length of time as the earth takes. If the moon took more or less time than the earth does to revolve around the sun, even by a very small amount, then over a period of many years, the moon would either pull way ahead of the earth, or else fall far behind. That doesn't happen, because earth and moon revolve around the sun together, in the same time.
It takes 27.3 days for the Moon to revolve around the Earth, and the same amount of time to rotate on its axis.
