How do the moon sun and earth move as a system in terms of rotation and revolution?

The Sun stays still while the Earth rotates on its axis while revolving around the Sun. The Moon rotates on its axis while revolving around the Earth.


How does the Moon's revolution cause different phases of the moon?

The moon rotates around the earth while earth rotates around the sun. The moon's lighted side always points to the sun. The moon's revolution affects this because as the moon revolves it shows different sides t the earth.


Earth's period of revolution is 8766.15 hours How many times does earth rotate during one revolution around the sun?

Earth rotates once every 24 hours. If you divide 8766.15 by 24, you get pretty close to the number of days in a year. __________ Not quite. 24 hours is the average synodic period of earth, not the rotational (sidereal) period. Earth rotates once every 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4.1 seconds roughly. This turns out to be about 23.93 hours. The orbital period of earth is 8766.152784 hours roughly. So the earth rotates (sidereal) about 366.325 times in a year. See discussion if you doubt this result.


Is a revolution longer than a rotation?

No, a revolution is typically shorter than a rotation. A rotation is the movement around an axis, while a revolution is the movement around a central point or body. For example, the Earth rotates on its axis approximately every 24 hours, but it takes the Earth about 365 days to complete one revolution around the Sun.


What does the earth rotates around?
