Detailed explanation-1: -The moon is much higher, about 250, 000 miles from Earth. It takes the moon about 28 days to orbit Earth, going about 2, 200 miles per hour. Earth takes a year to orbit the sun.
Detailed explanation-2: -(Grades 5-8) series. An orbit is a regular, repeating path that one object in space takes around another one. An object in an orbit is called a satellite.
Detailed explanation-3: -A planet has a definite path in which it revolves around the Sun. This path is called an orbit.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Moon takes 27 days to orbit the Earth, and the lunar phase cycle lasts about 29.5 days. The lunar cycle takes a little longer because as the Moon is orbiting the Earth, the Earth is also orbiting the Sun, so the Moon needs to travel a bit further round in its orbit to complete a lunar cycle.
Detailed explanation-5: -A day on the Moon is 27.32 Earth days or 655.72 hours long.
