The Moon's Orbit and Rotation. 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.
24 hours (approximately). The solar day is exactly 24 hours, but it actually takes about 23 hours and 56 minutes for the Earth to rotate once. The extra four minutes are nâ¦eeded to allow for the change in position of the Sun in the sky due to the Earth orbiting the Sun.
