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.
When periods of the moons rotation and revolution are equal what is it called?
It is called synchronous rotation when the rotation and orbit take the same amount of time.
During a solstice do the periods of light and dark are equal?
No, during a solstice the periods of light and dark are not equal. During the summer solstice, the day is longest and the night is shortest, while during the winter solstice, the day is shortest and the night is longest. This is due to the tilt of the Earth's axis.
Why do we only see the same side of the m?
We only see the same side of the Moon because it is tidally locked to the Earth. This means that the Moon's rotational period is equal to its orbital period around the Earth, causing it to rotate on its axis once for every orbit it completes. As a result, the same hemisphere of the Moon always faces our planet, while the far side remains hidden from direct view. This phenomenon is a result of gravitational interactions over millions of years.
What does Keplers laws apply to?
Kepler's laws apply to the motion of planets around the Sun. Specifically, they describe the elliptical orbits of planets, the equal area law (planets sweep out equal areas in equal times), and the relationship between a planet's orbital period and its distance from the Sun.
What State is at which the moon orbital and rotational periods are equal?
A state of `synchronous rotation`. Its where the rotational period of the moon is equal to orbital rotation period about Earth, one face of the moon will always appear to face earth. In our moons case this is due to tidal locking.

How much rotational symmetry does triangle have?
It depends on the type of triangle. A scalene triangle (no equal sides) has no rotational symmetry. An isosceles triangle (2 equal sides) has rotational symmetry order 2. An equilateral triangle (3 equal sides) has rotational symmetry order 3. The order of rotational symmetry is how many time a shape will fit over itself during one complete rotation.
What planet has one day is equal to 21 hours?
A search of the planetary characteristics in the TIME Almanac 2009, pp.139-154, fails to find any planet in the solar system with such a rotational period. Although strong evidence for extra-solar planets has been observed, none of their rotational periods has been measured.
Does the pentagon have rotational symmetry?
It depends on the length of the sides, if they are all equal in length, then yes. If not, then the probability of it having rotational symmertry is as likely as not.
What is the value of the quantum number n for a spin down electron in a 2 s orbital?
The quantum number ( n ) represents the principal quantum number, which indicates the energy level and size of the orbital. For a 2s orbital, ( n ) is equal to 2, regardless of the electron's spin state. Therefore, the value of the quantum number ( n ) for a spin-down electron in a 2s orbital is 2.
Do all figures with rotational symmetry also have reflection symmetry?
No.For example, a hexagon with equal angles and sides of lengths a,b,a,b,a,b has rotational symmetry of order 3, but it has no reflection symmetry.No.For example, a hexagon with equal angles and sides of lengths a,b,a,b,a,b has rotational symmetry of order 3, but it has no reflection symmetry.No.For example, a hexagon with equal angles and sides of lengths a,b,a,b,a,b has rotational symmetry of order 3, but it has no reflection symmetry.No.For example, a hexagon with equal angles and sides of lengths a,b,a,b,a,b has rotational symmetry of order 3, but it has no reflection symmetry.
Why does the s orbital fill before the p orbital?
It has a lower energy level. All else being equal, electrons tend to go into the lowest energy orbital with space available.
How many orders of rotational symmetry does an equilateral triangle have?
3- If an equilateral triangle has 3 equal sides, it also has 3 orders of rotational symmetry.
Plutos period of rotation?
Pluto has a rotational period equal to 153.3 hours.
The fact that most moons always show the same face to their planet is?
due to a phenomenon called synchronous rotation, where the moon's rotational period is equal to its orbital period. This gravitational interaction causes one side of the moon to always face the planet.
What is mars orbital period how long does it take to orbit the sun how may earth years is that?
The orbital period of Mars is equal to about 1.88 Earth years.
