How long does it take the moon to revovle around earth?

It takes our moon about 27.3216 average earth days to complete an orbit of the Earth. However, due to the Earth's progress in its orbit of the sun during that time, it takes an additional 2.2 days to get to the same phase, or position with respect to the sun, as when the orbit started.


Planet orbits earth in 28 days?

The statement is incorrect. The Earth orbits around the Sun in approximately 365 days, while the Moon orbits around the Earth in about 28 days.


What evidence shows that it takes the moon 28 days to orbit earth?

Visually. If you stood in one spot for 28 days the moon would be in a different point in the sky until the 28th day.


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.


How many times does the moon orbit the earth while the earth completes one orbit of the sun?

On average, the moon rotates once for every orbit completed around earth. This is the reason that the same hemisphere of the moon always faces earth. The rotation is a sidereal period, which means that the rotation would be obvious if we could observe the moon from the same point of view as the distant stars far to the north of the solar system. The rotation is a true rotation. Its almost stationary appearance is 'apparent', but not 'true'. _______________ For more advanced and technical information on the moon's rotation, study the topic of "libration". Libration is another "apparent" motion we observe from earth, and not a true motion. 1. The moon turns once on its axis each time while it orbits earth.
