Question

By how many degrees the position of the moon changes per day?

• A. 13.2 degrees
• B. 15.2 degrees
• C. 17.2 degrees
• D. 19.2 degrees

Answer 1

The correct option is A

13.2 degrees

The moon takes 27.3 days to orbit Earth. Since the moon completes a 360-degree circular path while orbiting around Earth, it moves (on an average) $\frac{360}{27.3}=13.2$ degrees per day.
