What else can I help you with?
Is the moon rotating faster than earth?
No. The moon rotates much slower than Earth. Earth completes a rotation once every days. The moon completes a rotation once every 27 days.
Why is the distance between moon and earth spreading?
Because the Moon orbits the Earth slower than the earth rotates itself, it creates friction that pulls the Moon away at about 1/4 an inch a year
Why is the day longer on Pluto than on earth?
a day is how long it takes the object to revolve one time. Pluto is smaller than the earth but it rotates much slower. The moon revolves around the earth at the same rate it rotates. That is why we see the same side of the moon at all times;
Does the moon rotate and revolve at a slower rate than the earth?
The Moon rotates on its axis in the same time that it takes to orbit the Earth. So, one side always faces the Earth, and the other side faces away from Earth. The Moon revolves around the Earth once (and rotates once) in 27.3 days. Earth rotates in about 24 hours. Earth revolves around the Sun in about 365 and a quarter days.
Why are mars days longer than earth days?
Because Mars rotates slower than Earth
Is the rotation of the Earth and Moon the same?
No. Earth rotates every 24 hours. The moon rotates at a much slower rate, taking about 29.5 of our days, which is about the same time it takes to orbit Earth. Because of this, we always see the same side of the moon facing Earth. We can see a bit more than 50% in reality.
Does the moon revolve around the earth much slower then it rotates?
The moon rotates around the earth at the same rate that it rotates around it's own axis. This means that from earth it is only possible to see one side of the moon. That is why the moon rover expeditions were so intriguing to scientists.
Would rocks on the moon weather faster or slower than on earth?
They would weather slower than on earth due to different amts of wind and rain than on earth.
Is the earths rotation longer than the Moon's rotation?
The Earth rotates in 1 day. The moon takes 27.32 days to rotate.
Why is the moon slower than the earth?
The moon appears slower than the Earth because it takes longer to complete a full rotation on its axis. The Moon's rotation period is the same as its orbital period, so we always see the same side facing Earth. This creates the illusion of the Moon moving slowly across the sky.
Does mars spin faster than Venus?
No it rotates much as Earth every 24hrs approx: Venus is much slower
Is the acceleration on the moon less or more powerful than on earth?
Gravity on the moon is lower than earth since it had lesser mass. The falling object would accelerate at slower speed on the moon compare to earth.
