Do the planets rotate around the sun?
Yes, all of the planets rotate around the sun, in the same direction but at different speeds and time periods. well planets rotate on their own axis, the correct term would be revolve. The planets revolve around the sun
The time it takes the earth to revolve around the sun is called a what?
The time it takes for the Earth to revolve around the Sun is called a "year."
Does the moon rotate and revolve at a slower rate than the earth?
The Moon rotates on its axis in the same time that it takes to orbit the Earth. So, one side always faces the Earth, and the other side faces away from Earth. The Moon revolves around the Earth once (and rotates once) in 27.3 days. Earth rotates in about 24 hours. Earth revolves around the Sun in about 365 and a quarter days.
How long it takes for the moon to rotate once?
The moon takes about 27.3 days to rotate once on its axis. This rotation period is almost the same as its orbital period around the Earth, which is why we always see the same face of the moon from Earth.
How many hours does the moon rotates on its axis?
The moon keeps one side facing the Earth as it revolves around Earth. This means that for every revolution, there is exactly one rotation. The moon takes about 29.53 days to revolve around the Earth (This is the synodic period: consider the time to go from one 'new moon' to the next. The synodic period brings the moon all the way back to the same position relative to the sun). But the moon's true (sidereal) rotational period is about 27.32 days, because we have to take into consideration that the moon is rotating and orbiting at the same time.
Why when the earth spins you do not feel it?
i think this is so because the earth moves slowly. (the earth rotate and revolve at the same time.
How does the time it talked to moon to rotate on its axis compare with the time it talked the moon to revolve around earth?
They are exactly the same.
How many days exact for the moon go around the earth?
It takes 27.3 days for the Moon to revolve around the Earth, and the same amount of time to rotate on its axis.
How does the earth rotate and revolve around the sun at the same time?
It is due to sun's gravitational force that forms an orbit for earth's revolution, and earth rotates due to its axis,which is slightly tilted.
Does earth revolve or rotate?
BOTH!, because it revolves around the sun (goes are around the sun) and rotates (turns around) to define if it is day or night if the earth didn't rotate we would be stuck with either day or night all the time and if it didn't revolve we would be stuck with the same season.
Do the earth and moon revolve at the same speed?
It take 27.32 days for the moon to revolve around the earth. At the same time, the Earth and moon revolve as a bound pair around the sun every 365.25 days.
Is the earth's rotation is when the earth orbits around the sun?
No, the earth's orbit around the sun is its revolution ( 1 degree per day ) Earth's rotation is on its own axis ( 15 degrees per hour) We ROTATE and REVOLVE at THE SAME TIME!!!
What is the distance of all planets from the sun and how many days does it take it for them to rotate around their own axis and to revolve around the sun?

How long does it take the Moon to rotate on its axis compared with the time it takes to revolve around earth?
Both of these periods are exactly equal ... about 27.32 days.
How many days does it takes for the moon to revolve around the earth?
As the Moon revolves around the Earth, the time taken to revolve around the Sun is the same as the Earth ~365.25 days or one year.
What side of the moon was light up last night?
The moon is in what is known as geosynchronous orbit with Earth. That means that the moon has an orbital period equal to the Earth's rotational period; it takes the same amount of time for the moon to revolve around Earth as it does for the Earth to rotate around its axis. So the side of the moon that you see is always the same.
