Earth. i know because i took the test and it said the correct answer is earth ur welecome
What else can I help you with?
What is the amount of time that an object takes to rotate once?
That is how we define a day. On Earth the period of rotation is around 24 hours = 1 Earth Day. On Jupiter, something over 9 hours = 1 Jovian Day.
How long is Earth's rotation?
Earth's rotation relative to the distant stars (the sidereal day) is 23 hours 56 minutes 4.1 seconds. Its mean rotation relative to the Sun (the the tropical day) is 24 hours. The difference between these two periods of time occurs because, while the Earth is rotating about its axis, it is also revolving about the Sun, and in the period of one sidereal day, the apparent position of the Sun has shifted by nearly four minutes in time.
How much does the big dipper move in a day?
The Big Dipper moves about 1 degree in the sky every 24-hour period. This movement is due to the rotation of the Earth.
Is the earths rotation longer than the Moon's rotation?
The Earth rotates in 1 day. The moon takes 27.32 days to rotate.
If the earth has rotated 183 times and only 182.5 days have gone past how long does it take for 1 rotation of the earth?
The Earths sidereal rotation period is 23 hours and 56 seconds. = =

What is the difference between period of revolution and rotation?
period rotation: 1 rotation of the earth(1 day) period revolution: 1 year around the sun
What is the period of rotation to equal 1 day on the planet Venus?
about 243 earth days
What causes 1 earth day to be 24 hours long?
It is the period of rotation of the earth on its own axis.
What is mars rotating period?
The Martian "day" (rotation period) is 24 hours and 37 minutes - a little over 1/2 hour longer than earths day.
How do you get the ratio of earth's orbital period about the sun to the earth's period of rotation about its own axis?
The period of the earth's orbit around the sun is one year. The period of earth's orbit about its own axis is one day. If we estimate one year to be about 365 days, we simply get the ratio 365:1 as the ratio of the period of earth's orbit around the sun to that of earth's rotation about its own axis.
How many seconds in an hour on Neptune?
A second is a second - it is the International Standard for measuring time.How would you define an hour on Neptune? 1/24 of its period of rotation - its "day"? Why 1/24? Why not some other factor?A second is a second - it is the International Standard for measuring time.How would you define an hour on Neptune? 1/24 of its period of rotation - its "day"? Why 1/24?

What is 1 day in Jupiter?
One day on Jupiter, also known as a Jovian day, lasts about 9.93 hours as Jupiter has a fast rotation period.
What is synchronous rotation of man made satellite?
Um..it depends if the satellite rotates about the earth its synchronous rotation should be: a whole number (usually one) (multiplied by) 1rotation/23.934hours or simply r(1/24)---generally r (number of times it rotates per day) is going to be one 1rotation/23.934hours is the standard synchronous rotation for a satellite in the earth's orbit..the only reason i suggested multiplying a number by it, is because it may change depending on the number of times it revolves per day Synchronous rotation is going to refer to the relationship between the orbital period of a satellite and the rotational period of the body it is orbiting; at the end of every rotational period (day) it will be in the same position in the sky, when observed from the the body it orbits. -if you want to find out the synchronous rotation for another planetary body, just use the amount of time it takes for the body to complete a day--for some it's a little bonkos: Venus, for instance, has a day that is longer than its year (it rotates slower than it completes an annular revolution). There are different forms of synchronous rotation but as far as finding the number, everything written above is correct; I'm not sure if the logic is faulty, but the method to derive the values is correct. The simplest answer to your question is 1 /24 or 1/23.934 revolutions per hour; 1/86164 revolutions per second; or satellite's synchronous rotation rate is 0.04178156597309267151332831954542 revolutions per hour (1/24 revolutions per 1/24 of a day)
What is the difference between a period of rotation and a period of revolution?
Let's say Michael Jordan (Is he still playing ? I never know.) Let's say Michael Jordan is walking around the arena spinning a basketball on the end of his finger. 'Rotation' is what the ball is doing on the end of his finger. The Earth's period of rotation is 1 day. 'Revolution' is what the ball is doing around the arena at the same time. The Earth's period of revolution is 1 year.
What is a complete turn around the earths axis called?
A complete rotation which takes up 1 day or 24 hours.
What object in space has a rotation period of 27 days?
The Moon has a rotation of approximately 27 1/3 days.
