Given a passage and a query based on the passage, generate an unambiguous, concise and simple answer to the query from information in the passage. Note that the answer may not be present in exact form.

The moon orbits the earth in a little under 28 earth days. It travels at almost 2,290 miles per hour. Coincidentally, the moon's rotation period is also a little under 28 days, meaning the same face points toward the earth during its entire orbit. When the moon is between the Earth and the sun, during the new moon phase, the back side of the moon is bathed in daylight. The orbit and the rotation aren't perfectly matched, however. The moon travels around the Earth in an elliptical orbit, a slightly stretched-out circle. When the moon is closest to Earth, its rotation is slower than its journey through space, allowing observers to see an additional 8 degrees on the eastern side. Why does the Earth and the moon remain in orbit? Inertia and gravity combine to keep Earth in orbit around the sun and the moon in orbit around the Earth. (pg 524) v. the different shapes of the moon you see from the earth are called How long does it take for the Earth to rotate on its own axis ? The time it takes the Earth to rotate once is called a day (24 hours). The actual rotation time is a little less, about 23 hours and 56 minutes. If you ignore the earth's orbit around the sun, the moon takes 27.32 days to go 360 degrees around us. In other words, the time it takes to cover 360 degrees of the celestial sphere. But since we orbit the sun, the moon has to travel farther than 360 degrees to reach the same point, with respect to the earth and sun. (It's about an extra 28 degrees). Since we notice phases much more than what stars we see the moon against, the phase cycle of 29.5 days is the one most commonly used. v. an object that orbits the sun, is large enough to have become rounded by its own gravity and has cleared the area of its orbit. planet. v. bright streak of light produced when a small object burns up entering the Earth's atmosphere. Seconds) to go all the way around earth moon's orbital period is time it takes for moon complete one orbit does, in fact, rotate, and because of this every spot on sees albeit that lunar days nights are each 14. 34g cm3, the period is 118 minutes. If you ignore the earth's orbit around the sun, the moon takes 27.32 days to go 360 degrees around us. In other words, the time it takes to cover 360 degrees of the celestial sphere. But since we orbit the sun, the moon has to travel farther than 360 degrees to reach the same point, with respect to the earth and sun. (It's about an extra 28 degrees). Since we notice phases much more than what stars we see the moon against, the phase cycle of 29.5 days is the one most commonly used. The Moon orbits Earth in the prograde direction and completes one revolution relative to the stars in approximately 27.323 days (a sidereal month). Earth and the Moon orbit about their barycentre (common center of mass), which lies about 4,600 km (2,900 mi) from Earth's center (about 3/4 of the radius of Earth). If I use this gravity model, I can calculate the force per unit mass for an object in the location of the moon due to both the Sun and Earth. 1 Gravitational force per mass due to the Sun = 0.00589 N/kg. 2 Gravitational force per mass due to the Earth = 0.00270 N/kg.

Moon takes 28 days to orbit the Earth.
