The Earth condensed out of a rotating Solar Nebula, inheriting its angular momentum for the condensing cloud. The conservation of angular momentum allows the Earth to maintain its orbit.

How many times does the moon rotate on it's axis as it makes a complete orbit around the Earth?

Once, it is in a synchronous orbit with Earth


Does the moon rotate on its axis twice each time it revolves around earth?

No. The moon rotates once for every orbit it makes around Earth.


Why does the earth rotate in its orbit around the sun?

its the gravitational pull from he sun.


How many times does a satetillite rotate per day?

Most satellites in low Earth orbit rotate around the Earth approximately 15 times per day. This means they orbit the Earth about every 90 minutes.


How long the moon takes to orbit the earth and the earth to orbit the sun?

It takes 27.3 days for the Moon to complete one full orbit around the Earth. how long does it take for the earth to rotate around the sun? It takes exactly 365 and a quarter days for the earth to orbit around the sun once.


What makes earth revolve in an almost circular orbit and why does it rotate on in axis?

well its simple GRAVITY you dumbs


How long does it take for Earth to rotate around the sun?

It takes Earth approximately 365.25 days to complete one orbit around the sun.


What planet has an orbit with most similar to the Moon's orbit around Earth?

Actually that would be the Earth's orbit around the moon (in fact, they both rotate about a common point.) Note that the moon NEVER moves "backwards" in its orbit (most other satellites do).


Does the moon travel round the earth?

No, it spins in place and we rotate around it.


How does the planet move all the way round and not earth?

around what? if its earth then it would rotate on its axis and and if ur talkin bout the revolution then if it is before earth (Venus, Mercury) then it wouldn't orbit around earth they would only orbit the sun and Venus would orbit mercury. and all of the planets after earth (Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, others) they would orbit the sun and all the planets before them. but all planets rotate on their axis but it may take shorter or longer time to rotate once than how long it takes for earth to rotate on its axis once.


How many days will rotate the moon around the earth?

The moon takes approximately 27.3 days to complete one orbit around the Earth.


What describes the rotation and revolution of the moon and earth?

It takes the moon 27.3 days to rotate on its axis also it takes the number of days for it to have one orbit around the earth. for earth it takes 24 hours for it to rotate on its axis it takes 364 and 1/4 days to take an orbit around the sun.
