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.
Venus s rotation takes longer than a year and it rotates backwards. Note that a rotation is when an object spins once on its own axis. Our planet takes only 24 hours, or one full Earth day, to rotate on its axis and a year to revolve around the Sun.Venus, however, takes 243 days to turn one time on its axis and almost 225 days to revolve around the Sun in orbit. Strangely, a year on Venus is shorter than a day.ote that a rotation is when an object spins once on its own axis.
