The moon's rotation has become synchronized with its orbit. During one orbit it makes one full revolution.
The moon almost certainly had a day and night at one time, a billion or more years ago. Over time, tidal forces reduced the moon's rotation until it slowed enough to keep one face to earth at all times.
What else can I help you with?
What division of earth's atmosphere into layers is based on?
temperature differences
Witch way should a tattoo face?
Forward if on the legs, arms, or torso. Inward (toward center of body) if on the chest or back.
The layer of gases that surround the earth are?
It is called the Atmospere STUPID! ;) Any ways... Add me on face book :)
How do you get night time?
the earth rotates on its axis and when it has rotated so that it face away from the sun, we experience night time
Why do all satellites face south?
This allows them to see the entire surface of the Earth. The Earth is rotating East to West. (Or West to East if you were the satellite.) If you placed a satellite into an East-West orbit, it would not see the polar regions. If it were high enough (geo-stationary), it would only see one spot on the Earth. By using North-South (polar) orbits, the satellites will, after several orbits, be able to see the entire surface of the Earth.
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.
Why does the moon have a near side and a far side.?
Because one face is always pointed towards the Earth.
When the earth turns its face toward the sun that region will be?
Hot. Daylight. Summer.
When the earth turn its face toward the sun that region will be?
The side of the Earth that is tilted towards the sun will experience summer.
In which direction does the thermostat face when re-installing on a 1995 Kia Sephia?
When you look at the thermostate there will be a pointed side on top and a round part on the bottom. the round part goes toward the engine and the pointed part goes toeard the radiator
How many Earth days is it for Mercury to Rotate once?
earth is the only plantet that can rotate. All planets rotate. In the case of mercury its rotation period exactly equals its year (about 88 earth days) so that one unchanging side faces the sun for the same reason (strong tidal effects) that the same face of the moon always faces the earth.
Does the moon and sun rotate?
The moon does rotate on its axis as it orbits Earth, but it takes the same amount of time to complete one rotation as it does to orbit Earth, causing one side to always face us. The sun rotates, but because it is a ball of gas, different parts rotate at different speeds.
Why is the days longer?
During the time it takes Earth to rotate 360°, it advances about 1° in its orbit of the sun, so in order for the same point to face the sun again, Earth has to rotate 361°. The extra degree of rotation takes about four minutes.
What causes the moon to always keep the same face toward Earth?
The phenomenon of the moon always keeping the same face toward Earth is due to its synchronous rotation, which means that its rotation period is the same as its orbital period around Earth. This is caused by gravitational forces between the Earth and the moon, which have resulted in the moon's rotation becoming synchronized with its orbit.
Your moon always shows the same face to the earth?
The moon always shows the same face to the Earth due to its synchronous rotation, meaning it takes the same amount of time to rotate on its axis as it does to orbit the Earth. This synchronization occurs because of the gravitational forces between the Earth and the moon.
How many times does the moon rotate in the time it takes the moon to orbit the earth once?
Once . The Moon is tidally locked to the Earth, with one face of the moon always facing the Earth, and the other side never facing the Earth .
Why do you always see one face of the moon Do all countries see the same face?
The moon does not rotate so on Earth we always see the same side no matter where the observer is.
