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.
It takes about 59 Earth days (58.66 days) for Mercury to make one rotation.   However, its day is extended due to the extremely short orbital period of 88 Earth days : â¦ a sunrise to sunrise solar day is 176 Earth days long (2 Mercury years).
