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.
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.
In equal times the radius to a planet sweeps out?
In equal times, a line segment between the planet and the sun sweeps out equal areas. This concept is known as Kepler's second law of planetary motion. It implies that planets move faster when they are closer to the sun and slower when they are farther away, maintaining a balance between gravitational force and orbital speed.
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.
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.
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.
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.
How do clockwise and counterclockwise torques compare when a system is balanced?
In a balanced system, the clockwise and counterclockwise torques are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. This equilibrium condition ensures that the net torque acting on the system is zero, allowing it to remain in a stable position without rotational motion. When the torques are balanced, the system is in a state of rotational equilibrium.
