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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
Why can we always see the same side of the moon from earth?
The moon rotates and revolves at the same rate
The same side of the moon always faces what?
The Earth.
Why is the side of the moon is always facing earth?
The moon does not rotate on its own axis like Earth does. If you were on the moon looking at the earth you would see it slowly turning. As you have observed,we only see the same side of the moon from earth because the moon does not turn on its own axis.
If you were standing on the moon where would the earth be?
The Moon has a synchronous rotation - every time it goes around the Earth, it rotates once around its own axis. If you stand on the side of the Moon that is directed towards Earth, you would always see the Earth in the sky - more or less in the same direction. There would be slight changes, though, due to the elliptical orbit of the Moon, and the tilt of the Moon's axis. If you stand on the back side of the Moon - the side that is not visible from Earth - Earth would always be below the horizon for you.
