Not to be confused with Lunar orbit (the orbit of an object around the Moon).The Moon orbits Earth in the prograde direction and completes one rotation in approximately 27.322 days (a sidereal month). Earth and the Moon orbit about their barycentre (common center of mass), which lies about 4600 km from Earth's center (about three quarters of the radius of Earth). On average, the Moon is at a distance of about 385000 km from Earth's center, which corresponds to about 60 Earth radii.
