What is a real world example of a rotation?
The earth rotates on its axis every 24 hours. How much more "real world" do you want?
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.
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.
How much time does it take for the moon to make one rotation?
The rotation period of the moon is 27.32 days.
How does the spinning of the earth effect earth's water?
It actually doesnt much. The main contributing factor to the movement of the water and tides is the moon. Every day= 1 revolution around earth for the moon, so the tides go with the moon. So actaully, the rotation of the earth really doesnt effect it much.
How much time is one complete rotation of the moon?
One complete rotation of the Moon on its axis takes about 27.3 days, which is the same amount of time it takes to complete one orbit around the Earth. This is why we always see the same face of the Moon from Earth.
How much later does the moon rise each night?
The moon rises about 50 minutes later each night, due to its orbit around Earth and the rotation of our planet.
Why does a person n earth always sees the same side of the moon?
The Moon rotates in such a way that it always shows us the same side - it takes 27 days to go once around the Earth, and 27 days to rotate around its own axis. The reason for this is that the Moon's rotation, which was probably much faster initially, slowed down, through tidal forces from the Earth - just as the Earth's rotation is currently slowing down, due to tidal forces from the Moon. Many moons in the Solar System have this bound rotation - they rotate once every time they go around their planet.
Why the moon orbits around earth not the sun?
The Moon orbits around the Earth because it is under the gravitational influence of Earth. This gravitational force between the Earth and the Moon keeps the Moon in orbit around the Earth. The Sun's gravitational force is much stronger, but the Moon's orbit around the Earth is stable due to the balance between these gravitational forces.
What is the significance of synchronous rotation of the moon in relation to its orbit around the Earth?
The significance of synchronous rotation of the moon means that the same side of the moon always faces the Earth as it orbits around it. This phenomenon is important because it helps to stabilize the moon's orbit and creates tidal forces that affect Earth's oceans.
Why is tycho always facing the earth?
Tycho is always facing Earth because it is a synchronous rotation body, meaning its rotation period matches its orbital period around Earth. This alignment causes one side of Tycho to always face Earth, much like the Moon always shows the same face to Earth.
What is one result of the Moon's revolution around earth?
The main effect is probably on the Moon's phases. If the Moon did not revolve around the Earth yet "magically" did not fall into the Earth, we would still see phases of the Moon, because Moon and Earth orbit the Sun. However the changes in the Moon's appearance would be much slower. In practical terms, it's the rotating around the Earth that gives us the Moon's regular phase changes. Another effect is that we always see the same side of the Moon. That's because the time the Moon takes to orbit the Earth is exactly the same as the Moon's rotation period. Also, there's a small effect on the times of the Earth's tides.
