  • Moon Orbit: How Long Does It Take? Earth-Moon Relationship Explained
    The Moon doesn't orbit the Sun. The Moon orbits the Earth. It takes approximately 27.3 days for the Moon to complete one orbit around the Earth. This is called a sidereal month.

    However, the Moon's phases (new moon, full moon, etc.) take about 29.5 days to complete. This is called a synodic month. The difference is due to the Earth's movement around the Sun.
