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.
Ananke's rotational period is around 45.7 Earth days. It rotates on its axis at a slower rate compared to many other moons in our solar system.
Haumea's rotational period is 3.9155 hours.
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.
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.
what is Saturn's moon Titan's rotational period
Saturn has a sidereal rotational period of 10.57 hours and a rotational velocity of 9.87 km per second. Because of its gaseous composition, it has a varying rotational period at the poles which is about 10 hours 45 minutes.
7.8 hours
Io's rotational period, or the time it takes for the moon to complete one full rotation on its axis, is approximately 42.5 hours. This means that a day on Io lasts around 42.5 Earth hours.
The rotational period of Venus is 243 Earth days.
Mars has a rotational period of 24.6 hours.
Pluto has a rotational period equal to 153.3 hours.
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.
