What else can I help you with?
When periods of the moons rotation and revolution are equal what is it called?
It is called synchronous rotation when the rotation and orbit take the same amount of time.
What do you notice about the rotation and revolution periods of the moon?
They are the same. The Moon rotates once for each revolution around the Earth.
What is the moon rotation and revolution?
The Moon always keeps the same side facing Earth so its rotation period is the same as its period of revolution around the Earth. These periods are both about 27.3 Earth days.
Equal periods of rotation and revolution of the moon cause what?
Cause us to always see the same "face" of the moon. This is called synchronous rotation.
What planet has the same rotation as earths?
None (that we know of).
How is revolution and rotation of planets the same?
revolution-is the revolving of an object around another object. rotation-is the spinning of an object on its axis. revolution and rotation are two different concepts but, are alike in some way. Rotation- Dominic
Are revolution and rotation the same?
No, revolution and rotation are not the same. Revolution refers to an object's motion around an external point or axis, while rotation refers to an object spinning around its own axis. Rotation typically occurs within the object itself, while revolution involves movement around an external point or center.
What phenomenon results when the moon's period of rotation and revolution are the same?
When the moon's period of rotation is equal to its period of revolution, it results in synchronous rotation. This means the same side of the moon always faces the Earth.
Why doesnt the moon stay the same size or shape?
Because of the Earths rotation, Happy astronomy! :)
When is the complete rotation of the moon?
The moon is tidally locked to the earth, so it's rotation and revolution are the same. About 29 days.
Compare the period of revolution between mercury and plutowhat is the ratio between their period of rotation and why?
Mercury's period of revolution around the sun is about 88 Earth days, while Pluto's period is approximately 248 Earth years. The ratio between their periods of revolution is about 1:28. This difference is due to the much larger distance Pluto is from the sun compared to Mercury, causing it to take much longer to complete one orbit.
Are the earths spin axis and rotation axis the same thing?
Yes. When we're talking about the Earth, 'spin' and 'rotate' are the same thing.
