What else can I help you with?
If the moon rotated on its axis just as quickly as earth Would we still always see the same side of the moon from earth?
If the Moon rotated on its axis as quickly as Earth, we would not always see the same side of the Moon from Earth. Currently, the Moon is tidally locked, meaning it takes the same amount of time to rotate on its axis as it does to orbit Earth, resulting in one side always facing us. If it rotated faster, different parts of the Moon would be visible from Earth over time.
What would happen if the Earth was also tidally locked to the moon?
Then the same side of the Earth would always be directed at the Moon. In this case, from some parts of Earth, the Moon would always be above the horizon; from other parts, it would never be visible.
Phase changes of the Earth that one would see if viewed from the Moon?
Exactly the same as the ones we see the Moon go through from Earth, except that Earth does not always turn the same face to the Moon.
If the moon rotated on it's axis as fast as earth would we always see the same side?
No, if the Moon rotated on its axis as fast as Earth, we would not always see the same side. The Moon is currently in synchronous rotation with Earth, meaning it takes the same time to rotate on its axis as it does to orbit Earth, resulting in the same side always facing us. If its rotation speed matched Earth's, we would see different sides of the Moon over time, similar to how we see different parts of Earth as it rotates.
Why does the earth always remains in about the same position in the lunar sky?
The Moon rotates once per orbit, and has the same side of the Moon always facing the Earth. So looking at the Earth from the Moon, it's always in pretty much the same place.Because the Moon rotates at a constant speed but follows an elliptical orbit, there is a little variation; over the course of several months, the Earth would appear to "wobble" a little in the lunar "sky", and would appear to get somewhat smaller and larger as the Moon recedes from the Earth and then gets closer.
What is the reason why the same side of the moon always faces the earth?
The same side of the moon always faces the earth because of a phenomenon called tidal locking, where the moon's rotation period is the same as its orbit around the earth. This causes one side of the moon to always be facing towards the earth.
Does earth always keep the same side towards the moon?
No. If it did, then some people on earth would always see the moon in the sky, andsome other people on earth would never see the moon in their sky. Instead, everybodyon earth sees the moon rise and set, meaning that different parts of the earth are turningto face it.
How much is a day on earths moon?
24hoursAs the moon always shows the same face to the Earth, would not a day on the moon be infinitely long?
Suppose the Moon rotated on its axis just as quickly as Earth. Would we still always see the same side of the Moon from Earth?
Well, honey, if the Moon decided to show off and spin as fast as Earth, then yes, we would see different sides of the Moon from Earth. But let's be real, the Moon is just too lazy to do that, so we're stuck with its one pretty face staring back at us.
Is the moon always the same?
What on earth (or rather the moon) is that supposed to mean?!
Which occurs when the moon spins on its axis at the same rate it orbits the earth?
The same side of the moon always faces the Earth
Do all earth hemispheres see the same side of the moon?
As long as you're on Earth, you will always see the same side of the moon. This is because the moon is tidally locked with the earth, meaning is rotational period is the same as its revolutionary period. This allows us to always see the same side of the moon, no matter where on earth we are.
