What is true of the Moon's orbital and rotational periods?
The Moon's orbital period (time to orbit Earth) is about 27.3 days, which is the same as its rotational period (time to rotate once on its axis). This synchronous rotation is why we always see the same face of the Moon from Earth.
If a planet with twice the mass of earth orbiting a star with the same mass as the sun and an orbital distance of 1AU what is the orbital period?
The orbital period of a planet can be calculated using Kepler's Third Law, which states that the square of the orbital period is directly proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of the orbit. For a planet with twice the mass of Earth orbiting a star with the same mass as the Sun at a distance of 1AU (Earth-Sun distance), the orbital period would be the same as Earth's, which is about 365 days.
When the Moon reaches equal periods of orbital and rotational periods it's known as rotation?
When a satelite's rotational period is the same as its orbital period, like our moon, the satelite is tidally locked to the body being orbited. Such a rotation rate is known as a synchronous rotation. The effect is that the same side of the satelite always faces the orbited body.
State at which the moon's orbital and rotational periods are equal?
Synchronous rotation occurs when the moon's orbital period (the time it takes to orbit the Earth) and rotational period (the time it takes to rotate on its axis) are equal. This means that the same side of the moon always faces the Earth.
How long is a synodic month?
A synodic month is about 29.53 days long. It is the length of time it takes for the Moon to return to the same position in the sky, relative to the Sun, as viewed from Earth. This is slightly longer than the Moon's orbital period due to the Earth's orbit around the Sun.
What is the length of the moons rotation?
Same as it's orbital period, about 27.32 days.
What planet has a rotation period that is almost the same with its orbital period?
Mercury
How long is Triton's revolution?
Triton's revolution period is the same as its orbital period, or approximately 5.877 days.
What does the last element in any period always have?
The last element in any period always has its outermost electron in the same type of atomic orbital, either an s or p orbital.
What is true of the Moon's orbital and rotational periods?
The Moon's orbital period (time to orbit Earth) is about 27.3 days, which is the same as its rotational period (time to rotate once on its axis). This synchronous rotation is why we always see the same face of the Moon from Earth.
Why is it possible for two satellites to circle the earth in orbits with identical period but different heights above the earths surface?
It's possible because the orbital period only depends on the satellite's distance from the center of the Earth, not its height above the Earth's surface. As long as the two satellites have the same distance from the center of the Earth, they will have the same orbital period even if their heights above the Earth's surface are different.
What is a geo synchronus satellite?
A geosynchronous satellite is a satellite in geosynchronous orbit, with an orbital period the same as the Earth's rotation period.
What is true about the moon's orbit around Earth?
The moon's orbital period is the same as its rotational period, so the same side of the moon always faces the earth.
Is the length the base?
Yes, the base and the length are the same thing.
Is length the same thing as width?
No
Is depth the same thing as length?
No.
Are length and height the same thing?
yes they are the same things
