What is true about the moon's orbit around Earth?
The moon's orbital period is the same as its rotational period, so the same side of the moon always faces the earth.
What is the smallest Galilean moon?
Europa
What are Galilean moon physical properties?
farts
Which galilean moon is known for its icy surface?
europa
How long is a moon revolution?
Because the moon is tidally locked with the Earth its period of revolution is the same length as its orbit -- approximately 28 days.
What Galilean Moon has the fastest revolution?
Io, the closest of the Galilean Moons has the fastest revolution with an orbital period on only 42.5 hours.
What is Moon's rotational period?
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.
Is the Moon's orbital period greatest at the full moon?
The moon's "orbital period" is the length of time it takes the moon to make onecomplete revolution around the earth. That period of time is about two days lessthan the time it takes for the moon to go through all of its phases.
How long is the moon's orbital period in days?
The orbital period of the moon [around the earth] is 27.321582 days.
What Galilean moon has the shortest sidereal period?
twenty juan
What is the orbital period of the moon in earth years?
the orbital period of Saturn in earth years are 89years
What is the orbital period of the moon?
27.3 days around the earth.
What is Triton orbital period?
If you mean the largest moon of the Neptune - its orbital period is -5.877 d (retrograde motion)
Is Deimos a Galilean moon?
No. It is a moon of Mars. The Galilean moons are moons of Jupiter.
What are the orbital speeds of Jupiter's Galilean moons compared to earth's moon?
There are about 63 known moons of Jupiter but the Galilean moons are the 4 moons visible and Ganymede ,the largest found by Galileo Galilee in January 7 1610.The orbital speed of the Jovian moons vary where the Jupiter's magnetic field is very strong.Only a mean speed can be used for comparison.The four moons and their orbital speed compared to the orbital speed of Earth's moon are:Jovian Moons Orbital speed/ Orbital speed Ratio(km/s) (Earth's moon)1. Io orbital speed 2.75 km/sEarth's moon orbital speed 1.03 km/s Ratio 1: 2.672.Europa orbital speed 2.187 km/sEarth's moon orbital speed 1.03 km/s Ratio !: 2.123. Callisto orbital speed 1.732 km/sEarth's moon orbital speed 1.03 km/s Ratio 1: 1.684.Ganymede orbital speed 1.305 km/sEarth moon's orbital speed. 1.03 km/s Ratio 1: 1.27
What is the biggest Galilean moon?
Ganymede is the largest Galilean moon, the largest Jovian moon, and the largest moon in the solar system.
How long does it take Deimos the moon to rotate on its axis?
Like Earth's moon, Deimos' axial rotation is synchronous with its orbital revolution as a satellite of Mars. The period of both motions is 30.3 hours.
