∙ 12y agoThe moon rotates on its axis once each 27.32 days. It also completes
one orbital revolution around the earth in exactly the same time.

∙ 10y agoIt's 27.32 days (rounded) ... precisely the same as the period
of its apparent revolution around the Earth.

Explain the Moons period of rotation versus period of revolution.?
They are precisely equal.
What is the length of the moons rotation?
Same as it's orbital period, about 27.32 days.
What is the result of the moons period of rotation?
how is the crater density used in the relative dating
What is the period of rotation and the number of moons on the chart on page 63 in astronomy?
9326
What is the difference between earths spin and the moons spin?
The earth's period of rotation is a few minutes short of 24 hours, whereas the moon's period of rotation is a bit over 27 days.
How long does it take for the moon to make 1 rotation?
27.3217 days. This is known as the moon's sidereal rotation period. The time between full moons is longer because the earth is going around the sun.
What is the moons two motions?
Rotation and Revolution.
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.
Why the moons appear at night?
Due to Earth's rotation.
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.
Which inner planet the largest known mountain in the solar system two moons and a period of rotation equal to 24.6 hours?
That describes Mars. The mountain is Olympus Mons.
What is venuses period of rotation?
The period of rotation for Venus is 243 days
