Well we move in a pro-grade rotation. This could be the difference because Pluto's moon Charon stays in the same place for Pluto.... but it moves for our planet because of our pro-grade rotation....

Why we always see the same side of the moon?

It is tidal locking that causes the synchronous rotation which causes the Moon to present "just one side" to the Earth all the time. The Moon rotates (spins) but very slowly, making one turn on its axis in the same time it takes to revolve (orbit) around the Earth. So it maintains a "constant face" in our direction. We actually see slightly more than half of its surface as it turns.It is believed that the Moon originally had a faster rotation (spin), but the effect of the Earth's gravity was to reduce the spin.(The dwarf planet Pluto and its moon Charon are believed to be "dually locked", so that each shows the "same side" to the other as Charon orbits.)


Why do the sun and moon rise?

The Earth's rotation causes the sun and moon to 'rise' and 'set. The rotation also causes the sun and moon to move across the sky from east to west, but really this is an illusion we see on out planet.


What is the line that the sun traces across the celestial sphere?

The "ecliptic". In truth, the Sun doesn't move; the apparent motion of the Sun across the sky is caused by the Earth spinning, and the apparent motion of the Sun across the "celestial sphere" is caused by the Earth orbiting the Sun. But the plane of the Earth's orbit around the Sun is what causes the apparent motion of the Sun across the celestial sphere, so the "ecliptic" is actually the plane of the Earth's orbit.


Does the sun move east to west or west to east?

The sun appears to move from east to west due to the rotation of the Earth. In reality, the sun itself does not move across the sky, but the Earth's rotation causes it to appear as though the sun is moving across the sky.

What is plutos most interesting moon?

Pluto's most interesting moon is Charon. It is particularly fascinating because of its large size in comparison to Pluto and its close orbit, which causes both Pluto and Charon to orbit a common center of mass located outside of either celestial body. Additionally, Charon's surface features, such as canyons and impact craters, provide valuable insights into the moon's geological history.


How does the potential difference across the bulb in a flashlight compare to the terminal voltage of the batteries used to power the flashlight?

The potential difference across the bulb in a flashlight should be slightly lower than the terminal voltage of the batteries used to power the flashlight. This is because there is a small internal resistance in the batteries which causes a voltage drop across it.


How much is the potential difference between the terminals of a connection wire?

The potential difference between the terminals of a connection wire is determined by the voltage difference applied across the wire. This voltage difference creates an electric field within the wire that causes charge carriers to move and establish a potential difference between the terminals.


What is the energy that causes charged particles to move is called?

The energy that causes charged particles to move is called electrical energy. This energy is a result of the movement of electrons in a conductor due to a voltage or potential difference applied across the material.

What force causes electrons to move in an electrical circuit?

The force that causes electrons to move in an electrical circuit is an electric field. When a voltage difference is applied across a conductor, the electric field exerts a force on the electrons, causing them to flow through the circuit.

What motion causes the Coriolis effect on earth?

The rotation of the Earth on its axis causes the Coriolis effect. As the Earth rotates, objects moving across its surface appear to curve due to the difference in linear velocity at different latitudes. This effect influences global wind patterns and ocean currents.
