As far as their motion around the Sun, they would have to, in order for the Earth and Moon to stay together. However, because the Moon is also moving around the Earth, they do not have exactly the same (vector) velocities at any time.
(The Moon is 400 times farther from the Sun than from the Earth, so it is mostly affected by the Earth's gravity, not the Sun's.)
What else can I help you with?
Is the moon the same speed as earth?
No!
What would happen if the moon and earth were moving at the same speed?
There would never be a full moon.
Does the earth move faster then the moon?
The earth moves faster than the moon. Answer 2 Since they both take the same time to get round the Sun (1 year) they must both move at the same average speed. However, the Moon is also moving round the Earth. Unless its plane of rotation is at exactly 90 degrees to the path of the Earth around the Sun (which it isn't), there will be times when it's going around the Sun slightly faster than Earth and times when it's going slightly slower.
Do the earth and moon revolve at the same speed?
It take 27.32 days for the moon to revolve around the earth. At the same time, the Earth and moon revolve as a bound pair around the sun every 365.25 days.
Which way does the moon move across the sun?
Same way as the Earth, since they move together.
What is A lunar vehicle is tested on the earth at a speed of 12km. when it travels at the same speed on the moon is its momentum greater less or the same?
The momentum of an object is calculated as the product of its mass and velocity (momentum = mass × velocity). While the lunar vehicle travels at the same speed of 12 km/h on the Moon as it does on Earth, its mass remains unchanged. However, since the gravitational pull on the Moon is less than on Earth, the vehicle's weight is reduced, but this does not affect its momentum. Therefore, the momentum of the vehicle will be the same on both the Earth and the Moon at that speed.
Does the earth's plate move at the same speed as earth rotates on its axis?
Earth rotates at roughly 1,000 miles per hour. Earth's plates move at the astonishing speed of fingernail growth.
Why do you not see the far side of the moon?
cuz +he moon spin and orbi+ happen at +he same speed. Tidal forces between earth and the moon have slowed the moon's rotation in a manner that causes the same side of the moon to always be facing earth.
How often does the earth set from the moon?
It never does because the same face of the moon is always pointed at Earth. This is due to the fact that the moon revolves around Earth at the same speed it rotates on it's axis, so Earth remains in the same relative location in the sky on the moon.
Time it takes the moon to rotate on its axis?
The moon rotates at the same speed as it orbits the earth therefore it takes 27.32 days. This is the same time it takes the moon to orbit the earth. (it's also the reason we always see the same side of the moon).
Why do all places on Earth have the same moon phases on the same day?
All places have the same moon phase because the moon takes 27 days to revolve around the Earth and the Earth takes 24 hours to rotate. The speed of rotation is faster than the moon's revolution making the moon appear unmoving and all parts of Earth having the same moon phase.
Does the moon move around earth?
Yes. The moon orbits the Earth. Yes The moon orbits the earth. It is also coincidental that as it does so it revolves on its own axis once whic causes the same face of the moom to always face the earth.
