What else can I help you with?
What is the moons two motions?
Rotation and Revolution.
Explain the Moons period of rotation versus period of revolution.?
They are precisely equal.
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
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 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 long do inner planets rotation and revolution around the sun?
PENIS
How long is a day on Dysnomia?
Perhaps you mean Dysnomia, a moon of Eris. The moon goes around the dwarf planet once every 15.8 days. I don't think its actual rotation has been observed, but if we assume that its rotation is synchronized with its revolution (as is the case with many moons), that would also be 15.8 days.

How long does the moon take to revolution and rotation?
About 27 1/2 days.
Which of these words means orbit?
Orbit is a curved or spherical path of celestial objects such as stars, moons, and planets. Other words meaning the same as orbit are revolution, rotation, course, track, circle, or trajectory.
What are some examples to show how tides can alter the rotation and revolution of celestial bodies?
Most of the large moons in our solar system rotate so that they always show the same side to the planet. This is caused by "tidal forces". The tides have slowed the moons' rotations down until their rotation periods equal their orbital periods. The moons also slow down the planets; our planet is rotating slower and slower. Once again, this affects the rotation. However, since angular momentum MUST be conserved, the Moon also gets farther and farther from our planet, thus affecting its revolution around Earth.
What is the period of rotation of callisto?
The period of rotation of Callisto, one of Jupiter's moons, is approximately equal to its orbital period, which is about 16.7 Earth days. This means that Callisto takes about 16.7 days to rotate once on its axis.
