What else can I help you with?
Do asteroid orbit the moon?
No. The moon does not have any asteroids orbiting it. While it is theoretically possible for such an orbit to develop, the moon's close proximity to Earth means that any orbit around the moon would probably not be stable for long.
How would the motian of the moon change if there where no gravity?
The motion of the Moon would change from an elliptical orbit to a straight line.
Does the moon change shape in a full orbit?
No - the moon itself stays the same shape. The phases of the moon change as the earth and moon orbit round the sun. The phases are simply the amount of sunlight reflected in relation to the position of the earth's shadow cast on the moon
What is the mass of a spacecraft when it is in orbit around the moon?
It has the same mass as when it is here on earth. The mass of an object do not change when it is in space, or in orbit.
Astronomers discovered a moon that does not orbit a planet?
A moon that does not orbit a planet is called a "moonmoon" or "submoon." It would directly orbit a larger moon, which in turn orbits a planet. This scenario is theoretically possible but has not been observed in reality yet.
Does the moon change its shape by turning?
No, the moon does not change its shape by turning. The moon's changing appearance in the sky, known as its phases, is a result of its orbit around the Earth creating different lighting angles that illuminate different portions of the moon's surface.
Do tides change according to the moon?
Yes the moon had a gravitational pull on the earth just like how the earth had the pull on the moon that keeps it in orbit
Why the revolution of the moon is not disturbed in solar or lunar eclipse?
i can not find the answer but my gess is because in order for its orbit to change something has to push it and since nothing touches it, it does not change orbit
What motion causes the moon to change phases?
The lunar orbit, or maybe more precisely, the mutual earth-moon orbit.Orbit
Does the moon orbit Earth or does the Earth orbit the moon?
The moon orbits Earth.
The centripetal force acting on a moon in a circular orbit around a planet continuously change the what of the moon motion?
The centripetal force acting on a moon in a circular orbit around a planet continuously changes the direction of the moon's motion. While the speed of the moon remains constant, the constant change in direction means that the velocity vector is also changing, resulting in circular motion. This force is directed towards the center of the planet, ensuring that the moon maintains its orbit.
What is it called when a moon's orbit is backwards?
When a moon's orbit is backwards, it is referred to as a retrograde orbit.
