How long does it take for the moon to round the earth?
357890
It takes the Moon 27.322 days to go around the Earth once. Because of this motion, the Moon appears to move about 13° against the stars each day, or about one-half degree per hour. If you watch the Moon over the course of several hours one night, you will notice that its position among the stars will change by a few degrees.

It would take something very huge to alter the moons position..chances are that something that huge would destroy earth as well..but ..for now...the moon ..is getting further away from us.. at a rate of approx. 4 inches ..a year.

Yes, the Moon does rotate around it's own axis.\n\nHowever, the reason we always see the same side of it is the fact that the Moon rotates about as fast as it makes one full lap around the Earth.  It takes about 27 days.  So, the Moon doesn't rotate as fast as Earth does(27 days compared to one day).

The average distance between Earth and Moon is approximately 30 times Earth's diameter.

I know how it will look.  The same side of the moon always faces us because its rotation rate and revolution rate are both the same - 27 to 28 days depending on whether you are looking at it from sidereal or solar time (that's technical lingo you can skip over).  But those two rates are tidally locked and there's no reason that would change.  We'll never see the other side from earth. One thing that WILL change is that is has been, and will continue to, slowly move farther away from us every year.  In the distant future it will appear smaller in the sky and will take a longer time to go around us, 30+ days in the future.  This is because conservation of energy and conservation of angular momentum must both be conserved.  I can explain that, but trust me, you don't want me to.

both are always in the sky. sun goes round the earth and the earth goes round the moon. depends on the time of year moon cycles etc etc

The moon has its own speed in space. But the earth pulls it toward it.  \n\nif any object is moveing with some speed and if a force is applied latterally (perpendicular to its direction of motion)  and pointed toward a fixed point then the body will move in circular motion\n\nSince the earth's pull is perpendicular to the motion of the moon and is always pointed toward the center of the eaarth the moon moves always round the earth.

The average distance from the Moon to the Earth is 384,401 kilometres (238,857 mi).

When the moon is full, it is on the side of the Earth opposite the sun. It takes the moon about a month to go around the Earth once. So in the course of a single day, it remains in almost the same position.

First of all it is a significant body.  At one time it was geologically active therefore had a molten interior and rotation similar to the earth.  Over time due to the combination of gravity, rotation and geological activity the moon developed a round shape.  The moon has long since been "dead" and its rotation slowed due to the earths gravitonal pull so now its rotational period precisely matches it revolution around the Earth.

It takes anywear from 8-9 min! The reason being that the earth does not revolve around the sun in a perfect circle. This answer only counts if I interpreted your question correctly.If not the speed of light itself does not travel.

If you are asking "How long is one day on the moon?", i.e. how long does it take the moon to rotate on its axis, the answer 29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes and 3 seconds long, the same as the period from full moon to full moon.

Oh no, you've figured out my hoax!!! You busted me, you're right, its not round. Sorry, I get silly sometimes. If you are at a position when the moon passes directly perpendicular to you relative to the sun's position then you will see a perfect half lit moon. you can simulate this with a big right triangle by taking a golf ball or some other ball and placing it at the  90 degree corner and placing a flashlight at one of the other corners pointing directly at the ball. Now line up your sight from the third corner and you should see a perfect half lit ball. :)

It's called a "captured orbit".  Use two oranges or balls. Hold one as the Earth in your left hand on a table.  It's going to stay still for demonstration purposes.  Hold the other orange with your right hand like the moon nearby and stick a toothpick in it so that the toothpick faces the "Earth" orange.  Now, just to see how the moon can be rotating AND keeping the same face toward the Earth, slowly begin to orbit the moon counter-clockwise around the Earth with the toothpick facing the Earth. Take the moon all the way around the earth, keeping the toothpick facing the Earth.  Do it again, slowly, and notice that the moon actually turns all the way around once, or, rotates, everytime it orbits all the way around the Earth. It takes the real moon 28 days to orbit or go all the way around the Earth, and 28 days to rotate all the way around it's own axis. Cool, huh?  : )  Took me like fifty years to figure that out.

The phases of the moon are caused by the relative positions of the earth, sun, and moon. The moon goes around the earth, on average, in 27 days 7 hours 43 minutes. \n\nThe sun always illuminates the half of the moon facing the sun (except during lunar eclipses, when the moon passes thru the earth's shadow). When the sun and moon are on opposite sides of the earth, the moon appears "full" to us, a bright, round disk. When the moon is between the earth and the sun, it appears dark, a "new" moon. In between, the moon's illuminated surface appears to grow (wax) to full, then decreases (wanes) to the next new moon. \n\nThe edge of the shadow (the terminator) is always curved, being an oblique view of a circle, giving the moon its familiar crescent shape. Because the "horns" of the moon at the ends of the crescent are always facing away from the setting or rising sun, they always point upward in the sky. It is fun to watch for paintings and pictures which show an "impossible moon" with the horns pointed downwards.

The average Earth-Moon distance is about 385,000 km.  Remember, the average is important because the moon rotates around the Earth in an eliptical fashion, which means that there are times when the moon is closer to the Earth than others depending on the point in its rotation.
