What else can I help you with?
How fast does the moon spin to cause locking?
The moon makes 1 rotation for 1 revolution around the earth. Both are 27.3 days long.
Do the sun or moon spin?
Yes. (They both spin.)
What does the moon spin on?
Its axis.
How many days does it take for the moon to spin around?
It takes one month for the moon to spin on it's axis.
Does every moon spin?
yes
Does the moon spin on an axis as it orbits the Earth?
Yes, the moon does spin on its axis as it orbits the Earth. This is why we always see the same side of the moon facing towards us.
Does the moon spin on its axis faster than the earth?
No. It's much slower. The Earth takes a day to spin round. The Moon takes a month.
Does the moon rotate every eighteen hours?
No. The Moon makes one spin (rotation) and one orbit of the Earth in the same period of time, which is about 27.3 days. Because the Earth and Moon are orbiting the Sun, the cycle of lunar phases takes about 29.5 days.
What does the spin rate of the moon have in common with its orbital rate about the earth?
The moon spins quite slowly, about once each 27 days, this monthly rate of spin matches the rate at which the moon revolves about the Eath.
Does the moon spin on a excel?
Yes, but it is called "axis".
Will earth always spin at this speed if no how will it change?
No. Tidal interactions with the moon are gradually slowing the rate of Earth's spin
How long does it take for the moon to spin around itself?
It takes about 27.3 days for the Moon to spin once on its axis, which is the same amount of time it takes to complete one orbit around the Earth. This synchronous rotation causes the same side of the Moon to always face Earth.
