Detailed explanation-1: -Does the Moon orbit Earth? Yes. The Moon takes about one month to orbit Earth (27.3 days to complete a revolution, but 29.5 days to change from New Moon to New Moon). As the Moon completes each 27.3-day orbit around Earth, both Earth and the Moon are moving around the Sun.
Detailed explanation-2: -The moon does rotate on its axis. One rotation takes nearly as much time as one revolution around Earth.
Detailed explanation-3: -Earth revolves about the Sun, producing the 365-day year. A satellite revolves around a planet.
Detailed explanation-4: -No need to concentrate on the specifics, but you can say that the moon takes 27 days sometimes and other times it takes 29 days. Q. How long does it take for the Moon to revolve around the Earth?
