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.
25 earth days to go around the sun's circumference and return to the place from where it started. Whereas as we head towards the poles, the rate of rotation (the speed) decreases and it takes about 35 days for a spot near the poles to cover the distance around the sun. You can also find similar rotation(differential rotation) in gas Giants like Jupiter .
