how long does it take for the moon to rotate around the earth
Orbit of the Moon For the moon to make a complete rotation on its axis it takes approximately 27.3 days. It takes the moon about this same time to orbit the earth.[10]
Earth's orbit As seen from Earth, the planet's orbital prograde motion makes the Sun appear to move with respect to other stars at a rate of about 1° (or a Sun or Moon diameter every 12 hours) eastward per solar day.[nb 1] Earth's orbital speed averages about 30 km/s (108,000 km/h; 67,000 mph), which is fast enough to cover the planet's diameter in 7 minutes and the distance to the Moon in 4 hours.[3]
