The movement of the Earth in a month is actually a small portion of its orbit around the sun. One month on Earth is 1/12 of the Earth's orbit around 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.


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.


How long does it take for the Moon to complete its rotation around the Earth?

The Moon takes approximately 27.3 days to complete one full orbit around the Earth. This period is known as the sidereal month. Interestingly, due to the Earth's own movement around the Sun, the time it takes for the Moon to go from one full moon to the next is about 29.5 days, known as the synodic month.


What are refers to the movement of the earth to the sun?

The movement of the Earth around the Sun is called revolution. This movement takes approximately 365.25 days to complete, resulting in one year.


What determines a planet's length of a month?

The concept of a "month" doesn't really apply to any planet except the Earth. On Earth the month is closely connected to the Phases of our Moon. A month is not like a "day" or a "year" which depend on times of rotation and revolution of a planet.

Does it take the moon twenty eight days to go round the earth?

Yes, it takes about 27.3 days for the Moon to orbit the Earth once. This period is known as the sidereal month. However, due to the Earth's movement around the Sun, it takes about 29.5 days for the Moon to complete its cycle of phases, known as the synodic month.

How long is a month on Callisto in earth months?

A month on Callisto, which is one of Jupiter's moons, is equivalent to about 16.69 Earth days. This means that in terms of Earth months, a month on Callisto is approximately 0.55 Earth months. Thus, it takes Callisto just over half an Earth month to complete one full orbit around Jupiter.
