What else can I help you with?
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.
Is Pluto and Charon in a synchronous rotation with each other?
yes
The rotation of Ganymede?
Ganymede, one of Jupiter's moons, rotates on its axis once every 7.15 Earth days. This synchronous rotation means that the same side of Ganymede constantly faces Jupiter. The rotation period was determined based on observations made by spacecraft missions like Voyager and Galileo.
State at which the moon's orbital and rotational periods are equal?
Synchronous rotation occurs when the moon's orbital period (the time it takes to orbit the Earth) and rotational period (the time it takes to rotate on its axis) are equal. This means that the same side of the moon always faces the Earth.
How long does it take europa to rotate on its axis?
Europa's rotation takes 3.55 days. Its period is synchronous with its orbit.
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.
Why is the frequency of a synchronous generator locked into its rate of shaft rotation?
By definition a synchronous generator must be synchronous. If it is not "locked in" it is not a synchronous generator, but an induction machine.
The month is related to which astronomical phenomenon?
synchronous rotation

Equal periods of rotation and revolution of the moon cause what?
Cause us to always see the same "face" of the moon. This is called synchronous rotation.
What is difference between synchronous motor and synchronous condenser?
A synchronous motor is designed to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy to produce rotation, while a synchronous condenser is designed to only regulate voltage and improve power factor on the electrical grid without mechanical output. Both devices are synchronous machines that operate based on the principles of synchronous operation and require a magnetic field to be established.
State at which the moon's orbital and rotational periods are equal?
Synchronous rotation occurs when the moon's orbital period (the time it takes to orbit the Earth) and rotational period (the time it takes to rotate on its axis) are equal. This means that the same side of the moon always faces the Earth.
Was the earth in synchronous rotation around the sun before the formation of the moon and based on the Giant Impact Theory did the impact tilt the earth and speed its rotation?
It is hard to know the exact situation before the big impact. However, most objects start with some rotation when they form from coalescing materials, and it seems unlikely that the Earth would have had enough time to slow down enough to have a synchronous rotation.
How long does it take europa to rotate on its axis?
Europa's rotation takes 3.55 days. Its period is synchronous with its orbit.
Why isn't mercury in synchronous rotation with respect to the Sun?
The Sun created a significant tidal bulge on Mercury when it was still a young, molten planet; when the planet solidified, this bulge was locked in place. Mercury is so close to the Sun that the Sun's gravitational force on Mercury's tidal bulges changed the planet's rotation rate. However, Mercury's highly eccentric orbit has prevented the planet from getting locked into synchronous rotation.
