Bodies spin through momentum; nothing's stopping them from spinning so they keep on spinning. The moon have a complication, because it's orbiting the Earth they have become tidally locked; so the Moon's rotation period is that same as the time to orbit the Earth.
The moon's rotation is not as fast as the Earth's rotation.
The Moon always keeps the same side toward the Earth. So, the Moon rotates once per orbit around the Earth. The time taken for the Moon to rotate once is about 27.32 Earth days.
It is in synchronous rotation, like our Moon.
The rotation period of the moon is 27.32 days.
The period of the moon's rotation on its axis is around 27 days. That's the reason why the moon appears stationary from Earth.
The Moon always keeps the same side facing Earth so its rotation period is the same as its period of revolution around the Earth. These periods are both about 27.3 Earth days.
Tidal forces cause the moon to be in a 1 to 1 resonance with the earth.
The moon's rotation is not as fast as the Earth's rotation.
The force that keeps all of our planets in rotation is gravity.
The Moon always keeps the same side toward the Earth. So, the Moon rotates once per orbit around the Earth. The time taken for the Moon to rotate once is about 27.32 Earth days.
Its own rotation keeps pace with its orbit in such a way that only one "side" faces the Earth.
yes... Its frequency of revolution equals its frequency of rotation.
The moon's rotation is not as fast as the Earth's rotation.
the length of the moon's rotation is 27.3 days (about 1 month)
No. The rotation of the moon has no influence on daylight or darkness. It's the rotation of the earth that does it.
It is in synchronous rotation, like our Moon.
The rotation of the Earth and the moon
