How many times does the moon orbit the earth while the earth completes one orbit of the sun?
Wiki User

On average, the moon rotates once for every orbit completed around earth. This is the reason that the same hemisphere of the moon always faces earth. The rotation is a sidereal period, which means that the rotation would be obvious if we could observe the moon from the same point of view as the distant stars far to the north of the solar system. The rotation is a true rotation. Its almost stationary appearance is 'apparent', but not 'true'.

For more advanced and technical information on the moon's rotation, study the topic of "libration". Libration is another "apparent" motion we observe from earth, and not a true motion.
1. The moon turns once on its axis each time while it orbits earth.

∙ 13y agoconsider the lunar month of 28 1/4 days and divide the year (365 1/4 days) by it giving you a total of 12.92920353982300884955722123894 times. however this is only a rough estimate as the lunar month is not exactly 28 1/4 days and the solar year is not precisely 365 1/4 days
so rough guess 12.92920353982300884955722123894

∙ 15y agoThe Earth orbits the Sun once every year,
The Moon orbits the Earth 13 times in that time.
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoEarth's orbital period is about 365.2564 days. The moon's orbital period is 27.3216 days. 365.2564/27.3216 equals 13.3688. The moon orbits earth about 13.37 times during the course of a year.

How many times does the earth spin on its axis while it makes the journey?
Earth spins on its axis for about 365/366 times while it completes one journey.
Do all the planets orbit around the earth or sun?
Only 3 planets actually orbit the earth while the rest orbit around the sun. the three are mars venus and uranus.
How many times does mercury orbit the sun while the earth orbits the sun once?
about 4.15 times
Would a year on planet Neptune be longer or shorter than an earth year explain?
It would be longer because Neptune is farther away from the sun than Earth is. Then, Neptune revolution is 163.72 Earth YEARS and Earth revolution period is 365.26 Earth DAYS. Hope I helped.
Why do the moon and earth spin?
because of the orbit because of the orbit the earth spins around the sun. while the moon does the same that is why when the sun goes around the sun 1 time its a new year.
How many times does the moon orbit the sun while the earth completes one orbit of the sun?
One. The reason is that the moon orbits the earth, very close by. The earth describes a huge circle around the sun, while at the same time the moon describes about 13 tiny circles around the earth. All in all, it makes the same number of solar orbits as does the earth.
How many times does the earth spin on its axis while it makes the journey?
Earth spins on its axis for about 365/366 times while it completes one journey.
When is a satellite fastest while orbiting earth?
At periapsis, that is, when it is closest to Earth in its orbit.
Meteors direction of orbit?
Meteors travels through earth. While the meteors travel towards the earth they go around the orbit.
Do all the planets orbit around the earth or sun?
Only 3 planets actually orbit the earth while the rest orbit around the sun. the three are mars venus and uranus.
Why doesn't the moon orbit around the sun like the earth does?
The moon does orbit the sun. The moon orbits round the earth, while both earth and the moon orbits round the sun.
Why does the moon rotate every 13.8 degrees east?
The Moon doesn't rotate. It does orbit the Earth, while the Earth orbits the Sun, but the same side of the moon is shown to the Earth at all times. Where did you get the figure 13.8 degrees east?
What did john glenn eat while in orbit around Earth?
He ate Applesauce
How many times does mercury orbit the sun while the earth orbits the sun once?

What is the path of the satellite after its launching?
it is the foot print of the Satellite on the earth while it revolving in the orbit.
