So it orbits the Sun the same amount of times in a year as we do.... and that would be once! Once..! The moon follows Earth around the sun, so its year is the same as ours...365 days. I believe the same as the earth: 365 days. On average, once a year.

One. The moon orbits the Earth. The Earth takes one year to orbit the sun one time, and the whole time the moon remains with the Earth. Therefore, the moon takes the same amount of time to get around the sun as the Earth does. wolfe_steve · 1 decade ago
