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]
Lunar distance (astronomy) The mean semi-major axis has a value of 384,402 km (238,856 mi).[2] The time-averaged distance between Earth and Moon centers is 385,000.6 km (239,228.3 mi). The actual distance varies over the course of the orbit of the Moon, from 356,500 km (221,500 mi) at the perigee to 406,700 km (252,700 mi) at apogee, resulting in a differential range of 50,200 km (31,200 mi).[3]
