What else can I help you with?
If the moon rotated on its axis just as quickly as earth Would we still always see the same side of the moon from earth?
If the Moon rotated on its axis as quickly as Earth, we would not always see the same side of the Moon from Earth. Currently, the Moon is tidally locked, meaning it takes the same amount of time to rotate on its axis as it does to orbit Earth, resulting in one side always facing us. If it rotated faster, different parts of the Moon would be visible from Earth over time.
What time period on earth would be 10 hours long if earth rotated on its axis every 10 hours?
365 and 1/4 days
If the earth rotated in a perfect circle then would you have seasons?
Yes. The change of the seasons occurs because the earth's axis of rotation is tilted slightly from its plane of rotation about the sun. Seasonal changes are not due to the eccentricity of the earth's orbit, which is slight. In fact, Earth is at aphelion, the point in its orbit where it is farthest from the sun, during the first half of July.
Only one side of the moon faces Earth because?
This is common for most moons. - Assuming that the Moon ever rotated faster than now, over time it would have rotated slower and slower, due to tidal forces. (Similarly, if it rotated slower, such tidal forces would have make it rotate faster.) Similarly, the Earth's rotation slows down over time, and in a far future, it will always face the same side to the Moon.
Since the moon always keeps the same side facing earth does it rotates on its on axis?
Yes, it rotates at the same rate it orbits the Earth.

What would happen to your apparent weight if the Earth rotated more slowly about its axis?
If the Earth rotated more slowly about its axis, your apparent weight would increase. This is because the centrifugal force pushing outward due to the Earth's rotation would decrease, making you feel heavier.
What time period on earth would be 10 hours long if earth rotated on its axis every 10 hours?
365 and 1/4 days
What if the earth rotated on it's axis and the axis was tilted but the earth did not move around the sun?
Seasons will not change Anyways, you can't challenge nature
What would happen if the earth rotated on its axis once every 20 hours?
We wouldn't get enough sleep, because the days and nights would be shorter.

Suppose the Moon rotated on its axis just as quickly as Earth. Would we still always see the same side of the Moon from Earth?
Well, honey, if the Moon decided to show off and spin as fast as Earth, then yes, we would see different sides of the Moon from Earth. But let's be real, the Moon is just too lazy to do that, so we're stuck with its one pretty face staring back at us.
Hypothetically What might conditions on the earth be if it not only rotated on a north to south pole access but also on an East to West axis simultaneously?
The Earth would rotate diagonally.
How many degrees is the earth tilted on it axis?
The earth is always tilted on its axis. It is about 23.5o
Which planet rotated on its axis in about the same amount of time that earth does?
Mars. Mars rotates once in about 1.026 Earth days.Mars.

In what direction is the Earth's rotation axis always oriented?
The Earth's rotation axis is always oriented in a north-south direction.
