How much time does it take to reflect the sun to the moon?

"To reflect the sun to the moon?" Your question does not make sense as worded. It takes a little over a second for sunlight to reflect from the moon to earth, if that is what you are asking. The sun does not reflect anything--it can't. Sunlight takes 8.3 minutes to reach the moon, then a bit over a second to get from the moon to earth.

How long for Moon to orbit Sun?

The Moon actually orbits the Earth, which it does in 28 days, but if you consider the Earth and the Moon as a double system, then the Moon orbits the Sun once a year, just as the Earth does. The Moon is much closer to the Earth than the Earth and the Moon are to the Sun.


How much longer is a lunar month then the time it takes for the moon to orbit the earth?

A lunar month, or synodic month, is approximately 29.5 days, which is the time it takes for the Moon to go from one new moon to the next. In contrast, the Moon takes about 27.3 days to complete one full orbit around the Earth, known as a sidereal month. The difference of about 2.2 days between the two durations is due to the Earth’s movement around the Sun, which affects the position of the Moon relative to the Sun as observed from Earth.


How much time does it take for the moon to make one rotation?

The rotation period of the moon is 27.32 days.
