What else can I help you with?
Why do the sun and moon rise in the east?
This is due to Earth's rotation. Earth rotates from west to east.
Does moon circle the earth in the same direction as the earth rotates?
Yes, the moon orbits the Earth in the same direction that the Earth rotates, from west to east. This is why we always see the same side of the moon from Earth, a phenomenon known as tidal locking.
Moon raise and sets east to west?
The moon rises in the east and sets in the west due to the Earth's rotation from west to east. As the Earth rotates, the moon appears to move across the sky from east to west, mirroring the apparent movement of the sun. This east to west motion is an effect of the Earth's rotation and the moon's orbit around the Earth.
What direction does the moon rotate on its axis?
The Moon orbits the Earth from west to east. Its apparent motion is from east to west because of the rapid rotation of Earth compared to the monthly orbit of the Moon. Since the Moon orbits from west to east, its once monthly rotation is also from west to east, because it keeps the same face (mostly) toward the Earth throughout the month. In plain English: counter clockwise, as viewed from above the north pole.
How does it take for the to rotate on its axis?
The moon has an axis, and as the moon orbits the Earth, it keeps the same face toward the earth. So the moon rotates on its axis the same length of time it takes to rotate the earth -28 days.
Does the moon round the sun or the earth?
The moon rotates round the Earth.
Toward which direction do the stars appear to move throughout the night and what is the reason for motion?
Just like the Sun and the Moon, stars appear to move towards the west. The reason is that Earth rotates in the opposite direction - towards the east.
when the sun comes up where do the stars go?
For the moment, let us just think about one motion - - Earth's spin (or rotation) on its axis. Earth rotates or spins toward the east, and that's why the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars all rise in the east and make their way westward across the sky.
How does the moon come out?
The moon does not actually come out; rather, it appears to rise in the east and set in the west due to the Earth's rotation. As the Earth rotates, different parts of it are exposed to the sun, causing the moon to become visible in the sky.
Does the moon rotate around earth?
No The moon roates around the earth. The earth rotates around the sun within the solar system.
Where does the moon rotate?
The moon rotates in space. As for HOW the moon rotates, it rotates about it's own axis and revolves around the Earth. As for WHY, it is due to the conservation of angular momentum.
What does the moon do around Earth?
does it revolves rotates phases or circles the anser is rotates
