This is called the sidereal month. The synodic month, which is the time between two full moons, is 29.53 days. This is because the Earth is also orbiting the Sun, so the Moon has to travel a little further to catch up to us.<\/p>\n<p>The moon&#8217;s rotation is also tidally locked to the Earth, which means that the same side of the Moon always faces the Earth. This is because the Moon&#8217;s gravity has caused the Earth&#8217;s tides to slow down the Moon&#8217;s rotation.<\/p>\n<p>The moon&#8217;s orbit is not a perfect circle, so its distance from the Earth varies.
