An asteroid/meteor impact is one theory. The truth is that nobody knows for sure, just like the exact origin of the moon is not known for certain.
What fraction of the moons of the planets orbit in the same direction that their planets rotate?
Most moons orbit their planet the same way the planet rotates. One of Neptune's moons is very different. That moon goes in the opposite direction of Neptune's rotation.
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.
What is the difference between earths spin and the moons spin?
The earth's period of rotation is a few minutes short of 24 hours, whereas the moon's period of rotation is a bit over 27 days.
Why does the moon look different every night.?
because of the rotation of the earth and the moons orbit
How is the rotation on Venus different from that of most other planets and moons?
It rotates, slowly, the 'wrong' way.
What are ocean currents made of?
its the natural flow of of water causes by the earths magnetic field from it rotation which thus interacts with the moons gravitational pull called"TIDES"
How the rotation of Venus different from that of most other planets and moons?
It's backwards. Venus rotates the opposite direction from most other moons and planets.
How is the rotation of venues different from that of most other planets and moons?
It's backwards. Venus rotates the opposite direction from most other moons and planets.
What causes the sun to rise at different time throughout the year?
beacuse of the earths rotation
The longitude of a determines which time zone it is in different time zones are the result of?
earths rotation
How is the moons soil different from earths soil?
s the moon is mostly a vary big rock \
Why are there separate time zones?
This is because of the earths rotation. Sunrise and sunset occur at different times in different places
What is the effect of rotation of earth?
The earths rotation causes day and night, wind, tides and ocean currents and its also responsible for the different seasons.
What makes the season change?
because of earths tilt (axis)different amounts of sunlight hit different places at different times that's the answer
