What else can I help you with?
What is the period of rotation and the number of moons on the chart on page 63 in astronomy?
9326
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.
What do moons rotate on?
The moon rotates on its own geometrical axis. It revolves around the Earth.
How long does it take for the moon to make 1 rotation?
27.3217 days. This is known as the moon's sidereal rotation period. The time between full moons is longer because the earth is going around the sun.
In what two ways does Jupiter's rapid rotation affect the planet?
Jupiter's rapid rotation causes its oblate shape, flattening the poles and bulging at the equator. This rotation also generates a powerful magnetic field, which interacts with its moons and contributes to intense auroras.
What would cause a planet to face the sun throughout the year?
Synchronous rotation or tidal locking. The Moon is in synchronous rotation about the Earth. Most major moons in the solar system have a synchronous rotation.
What is the moons two motions?
Rotation and Revolution.
Why the moons appear at night?
Due to Earth's rotation.
What is the length of the moons rotation?
Same as it's orbital period, about 27.32 days.
What causes the apparent repeated changes of the moons shape?
The Earth's and Moon's rotation.
What is the result of the moons period of rotation?
how is the crater density used in the relative dating
Explain the Moons period of rotation versus period of revolution.?
They are precisely equal.
What is the period of rotation and the number of moons on the chart on page 63 in astronomy?
9326
How do you use the moons movement and phases to tell time?
you use the moons movement and phases to tell time because of the seasons, rotation, and revolution
How the rotation of Venus different from that of most other planets and moons?
It's backwards. Venus rotates the opposite direction from most other moons and planets.
How is the rotation of venues different from that of most other planets and moons?
It's backwards. Venus rotates the opposite direction from most other moons and planets.
Why does the moon look different every night.?
because of the rotation of the earth and the moons orbit
