Why do you have half and full moon?
Due to the phases of the moon and rotation of the Earth.
Is the moon rotating faster than earth?
No. The moon rotates much slower than Earth. Earth completes a rotation once every days. The moon completes a rotation once every 27 days.
Is the moon slowing the rotation of earth on its axis?
Yes.
When is the complete rotation of the moon on Earth?
27.32 days.
How many moons does Earth have and what is the frequency of rotation?
Earth has one moon. Its periods of axial rotation and orbital revolution are equal, so that the same side always faces earth. The period is 27.32 days. The corresponding frequency is 0.0366 per day, or 4.236 x 10-7 Hz. (rounded)
How does the Moon's rotation physically affect the Earth?
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.
Does earth affect the moon?
The moon causes the tides and stabilises earth's rotation. yeah that is right moon is really played a great in stabalising earth.
How is the Moon's rotation different from Earth's?
The moon's rotation is not as fast as the Earth's rotation.
Why does only one side of the moon always faces toward the Earth while the other side always faces away from the Earth?
Because the time periods of the moon's rotation and revolution are exactly equal.
Does the moon have historical impact on the earth?
The moon's rotation is not as fast as the Earth's rotation.
How does the moon affect planets?
the moon creats earths tides! It also effects the planet by stabilizing the rotation of earth!
How many days will it take the moon complete one rotation?
Any single point on the moon experiences 14.77 days of sunlight followed by 14.77 days of darkness. While the moon is tidally locked to Earth, and always faces the earth, its period of rotation matches its period of orbit around the Earth.
What two factors determine when tides occur?
The rotation of the Earth and the moon
Does moon have effect on Earth's rotation?
yes; without the moon earth's rotation would be wobbly and disorganized.
What is the effect of the rotation of both the earth and its moon?
the rotation of earth changes days moon is a permanent body
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
How will the Earth rotate without moon?
The Earth's rotation is not dependent on the Moon; without the Moon, the Earth would still rotate. However, the Moon's gravitation gradually slows down Earth's rotation, so without the Moon, it is possible that Earth would now be rotating faster.The Earth's rotation is not dependent on the Moon; without the Moon, the Earth would still rotate.
