If you ask most people how long it takes the moon to revolve around the earth they would probably say a month or maybe 29 days?
In reality, there are two periods involved with the orbit of the Moon around the Earth.

Let's investigate!
The sidereal period is 27.3 and the moon is measured against stars.
The synodic period is 29.5 days and the moon is measured against the sun.
