The moon's rotation has no affect on the earth because the moon always faces its "near" side toward the earth.
In the far distant past, the effect of the earth's presence slowed the moon's rotation until the present state was reached.
The moon likewise slows the earth's rotation, but only by a tiny bit each century because the moon is so much smaller than the earth.
What else can I help you with?
Why the moons appear at night?
Due to Earth's rotation.
What causes the apparent repeated changes of the moons shape?
The Earth's and Moon's rotation.
Why does the moon look different every night.?
because of the rotation of the earth and the moons orbit
How does the moons gravitational force affect the crust of the earth?
The gravitational force of the moon causes tidal bulges in the Earth's crust, leading to the rise and fall of ocean tides. This gravitational interaction between the moon and the Earth also contributes to the phenomenon of Earth's rotation slowing down over time.
What would cause a planet to face the sun throughout the year?
Synchronous rotation or tidal locking. The Moon is in synchronous rotation about the Earth. Most major moons in the solar system have a synchronous rotation.
Would having 2 moons affect the earths gravity why?
Another moon would not affect Earth's gravity. The gravity a body exerts is determined by its mass, not by the mass of objects affected by it. This would, however affect other things, chief among them tides, which are controlled by the gravity of the moon.
What s the rotation of the moons revolution?
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
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.
Would it affect earth if it had two moons?
The affect would be very dramatic. Just look what 1 moon has done.
What are 3 facts about rotation?
Rotation refers to the circular movement of an object around an axis. One fact is that the Earth rotates on its axis once approximately every 24 hours, which is responsible for the cycle of day and night. Another fact is that the rotation of celestial bodies, like planets and moons, can affect their gravitational interactions and orbital dynamics. Lastly, the speed of rotation varies; for example, the equator of the Earth moves faster than points closer to the poles due to the larger circumference.
What is the moons two motions?
Rotation and Revolution.
How does the moon affect the earth's oceans?
The moons gravitational pull is what causes tides.
