The moon's period of rotation on its axis is precisely synchronized with its period of orbital revolution around the earth. Both are 27.32 days.

What State is at which the moon orbital and rotational periods are equal?

A state of `synchronous rotation`. Its where the rotational period of the moon is equal to orbital rotation period about Earth, one face of the moon will always appear to face earth. In our moons case this is due to tidal locking.


The fact that most moons always show the same face to their planet is?

due to a phenomenon called synchronous rotation, where the moon's rotational period is equal to its orbital period. This gravitational interaction causes one side of the moon to always face the planet.

Which one of these planet completes its rotation in 59-60 Earth days venus mercury mars Jupiter?

Rotation means the planet spinning about it axis. (Orbit the the path of the planet round the Sun). The planet Mercury has a rotational period of 58.646 Earth days. The planet Venus has a (retrograde) rotational period of 243.0185 Earth days. The planet Mars has a rotational period of 1.025957 Earth days. The planet Jupiter has a rotational period of 9.925 hours. Obviously Earth has a rotational period of 1 Earth day.
