Time to rotate on its axis
MOON EARTH
It takes 27 hours 43 minutes and 11.6 seconds for the moon to rotate on its axis.
The length of the rotation on its axis is 24 hours
Time to revolve
AROUND THE EARTH AROUND THE SUN
It takes the moon 29 days to revolve
It takes 365 days and 6 hours for the earth to revolve around the sun
How the moon effects tides
The moon’s gravitational pull causes the oceans tide to change.
What causes seasons? The earth is tilted at a 23.45 degree
tilt so when the sun shines on our earth it causes our seasons
