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.
Answers. Best Answer: The sidereal (sr) rotation period is 16 hours, 6 minutes and 36 seconds. That's how long it takes to rotate relative to the stars. Since the Neptune year is 60,190 earth days, you need to figure out how many Neptune sidereal days that is. (Answer: 89,669 Nep. sr days). Then figure out what time period is 1/ 89,669 of a Nepture sr day. (Answer: 0.65 seconds).
