The rotation of the moon, or the time it takes to rotate on it's axis exactly once, is
27.322 days (rounded), and the moon's orbital period, or the time the moon takes
to complete one full revolution around the Earth, is exactly the same. That's why the
Moon appears to always show the same face. We see the same side of the moon
and never get to view the far side from Earth.
What else can I help you with?
What is the moons two motions?
Rotation and Revolution.
Why the moons appear at night?
Due to Earth's rotation.
How long does it take for the moon to make 1 rotation?
27.3217 days. This is known as the moon's sidereal rotation period. The time between full moons is longer because the earth is going around the sun.
How long is 1 day on Io?
A day on Io, one of Jupiter's moons, lasts about 42.5 Earth hours.
What is the length of the moons rotation?
Same as it's orbital period, about 27.32 days.
What is the period of rotation and the number of moons on the chart on page 63 in astronomy?
9326
What causes the apparent repeated changes of the moons shape?
The Earth's and Moon's rotation.
Explain the Moons period of rotation versus period of revolution.?
They are precisely equal.
What is the result of the moons period of rotation?
how is the crater density used in the relative dating
How do you use the moons movement and phases to tell time?
you use the moons movement and phases to tell time because of the seasons, rotation, and revolution
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.
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.
