Since the moon keeps the same side facing Earth all of the time, a lunar day should be the same as a lunar month: 27.5 days.

The moon experiences a complete 'day' as it makes one complete orbit around the earth while the earth is orbiting about the sun. That takes approximately one month (which is the reason why the word month is derived from the word moon).

29.5 days, but 28 is helpful to remember as it would make each phase of the moon 7 days. However keep 29.5 in mind for your Mensa exam

One complete rotation equals one complete revolution which equals about 28 Earth days.
