Yes, but that's not the whole story. The moon's rotation on its axis and its
revolution relative to the Earth take the same number of days, hours, minutes,
seconds, and any small fraction of a second you want to consider. They are
synchronously locked, and precisely equal.
One side of the moon always faces the Earth, so it's rotation in space is the same as the lunar month, approximately 29 days
The period of rotation of Callisto, one of Jupiter's moons, is approximately equal to its orbital period, which is about 16.7 Earth days. This means that Callisto takes about 16.7 days to rotate once on its axis.
To find the number of revolution days of a planet, you can use the formula: revolution days = orbital period / rotation period. The orbital period is how long it takes for the planet to complete one orbit around the sun, while the rotation period is how long it takes for the planet to rotate on its axis. This formula will give you the number of days it takes for the planet to complete one full rotation around its axis.
Rotation - 59 days Revolution - 88 days Woot Swagg _
Same as it's orbital period, about 27.32 days.
Venus' period of rotation is 243 Earth days. Its period of revolution is 224. 7 Earth days. The revolution period is the length of a year in Earth days on Venus. This planet is a terrestrial planet.
No planet has a revolution and rotation that takes 27 days. The Moon rotates once every 27 days and revolves around the Earth once every 27 days.
Rotation: 23 hours and 56 minutes. Revolution: A year. About 365 1/4 days.
Mercury's period of rotation, or the time it takes to complete one full rotation on its axis, is 58.6 Earth days. Its period of revolution, or the time it takes to orbit the Sun, is about 88 Earth days. This means that one day on Mercury (rotation) is longer than one year on Mercury (revolution).
the earths rotation around the sun is 365 days . hope this helps (:
Perhaps you mean Dysnomia, a moon of Eris. The moon goes around the dwarf planet once every 15.8 days. I don't think its actual rotation has been observed, but if we assume that its rotation is synchronized with its revolution (as is the case with many moons), that would also be 15.8 days.
