The earth rotates and the moon revolves in opposite directions?
The earth rotates and the moon revolves in the same directions.
Can the moon change its position?
I'm not quite sure if this is what you mean, but the moon revolves around the earth in an elliptical pattern, not a circle, and it also rotates as it does this. So yes the moon can change its position.
What does the moon do around Earth?
does it revolves rotates phases or circles the anser is rotates
Does the moon rotate right or left?
The moon rotates in the same direction as the earth, counterclockwise (anticlockwise) when viewed from above the north pole. One rotation of the moon takes the same time as one revolution around the earth, so the same side of the moon is always facing the earth.
Why do you only see 1 side of the moon?
the moon rotates on its axis once a month (28 days) The moon revolves around the earth every 28 days The moon is tidally locked with the earth which means that we always see the same side of the moon. It is true that the moon rotates around the earth but it does not spin on its axis.
Is the earth's orbit round the sun the same direction as the earth's spin?
yes because the earth rotates <-that way and the moon rotates <-thatway so yes!!!!!!
Which way does the does the moon rotate?
Apparently, the moon rotates the opposite direction the Earth does, which is counter-clockwise, so it rotates clockwise. I don't know how or why, though.
What what is the shape of the moon's orbit around Earth?
The orbit of the Moon around the Earth is elliptical. An ellipse is a flattened circle, much like an oval. The Moon takes just under a month to revolve around the Earth. Looking down on the Earth above the North Pole, the Moon revolves counterclockwise around the Earth, which is the same direction that the Earth rotates on its axis.An ellipse. Very close to a circle though.Unlike many other moons, the Earth's moon follows an elliptical orbit.
What I think is that the graph of earth's gravitation rotates with earth so the moon also revolves with thiswhat do you think is it correct?
No, it's incorrect. If it were true, then the moon would revolve in the same direction that the earth rotates, and at close to the same rate. Instead, the moon revolves less than 4 percent as fast as the earth rotates, and in the opposite direction.
The earth rotates and the moon revolves in opposite directions?
The earth rotates and the moon revolves in the same directions.
Does the moon round the sun or the earth?
The moon rotates round the Earth.
Why do you see the same side of the moon every day?
The moon rotates in the same direction as its orbit. The rate of rotation is such that the same face is always pointing at the earth.
Does the moon rotate around earth?
No The moon roates around the earth. The earth rotates around the sun within the solar system.
Can the moon change its position?
I'm not quite sure if this is what you mean, but the moon revolves around the earth in an elliptical pattern, not a circle, and it also rotates as it does this. So yes the moon can change its position.
What rotates toward the east moon or earth?
Earth
Where does the moon rotate?
The moon rotates in space. As for HOW the moon rotates, it rotates about it's own axis and revolves around the Earth. As for WHY, it is due to the conservation of angular momentum.
What does the moon do around Earth?
does it revolves rotates phases or circles the anser is rotates
