Detailed explanation-1: -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 phases of the Moon, also called the Lunar phases, occur due to the Moon’s revolution around the Earth. Due to the Moon’s different positions around the Earth, we can see different sections of surface of the moon which are illuminated by the Sun, and which reflect the sunlight toward us.
Detailed explanation-3: -The time taken by the moon to complete one revolution around the earth is 27.3 days. It also takes approximately the same time for the moon to rotate once on its axis. Q.
