According to Wikipedia,
"On average, the distance to the Moon is about 385,000 km (239,000 mi) from Earth's center, which corresponds to about 60 Earth radii. With a mean orbital velocity of 1.022 km/s (2,290 mph), the Moon covers a distance approximately its diameter, or about half a degree on the celestial sphere, each hour."

What else can I help you with?
What is a synchronus rotation?
Synchronous rotation occurs when an object such as a moon rotates on its axis in the same amount of time it takes to orbit its parent planet. This results in the same hemisphere of the object always facing the planet. An example of synchronous rotation is the moon always showing the same face towards Earth.
How much time does it take for the moon to make one rotation?
The rotation period of the moon is 27.32 days.
The period of the moon's rotation on its axis is?
The period of the moon's rotation on its axis is the same as its orbital period around the Earth, which is approximately 27.3 days. This synchronous rotation means the same side of the moon always faces Earth.
How much slower is the Moon's rotation than Earth's?
The Moon rotates one full turn (sidereal) every 27.32 days, creating a lunar phase cycle of about 29.5 days. Its equatorial rotation speed is 4.627 m/sec. The Earth rotates once every 23.93 hours. Its equatorial speed is 465.1 m/sec. So you can say that Moon turns only 1/27th as fast as the Earth, or that its maximum rotational surface speed is only 1/100th that of Earth's.
What phenomenon results when the moon's period of rotation and revolution are the same?
When the moon's period of rotation is equal to its period of revolution, it results in synchronous rotation. This means the same side of the moon always faces the Earth.
What would happen if the speed of the Moon's rotation is half as fast as the speed of it now?
If the Moon's rotation speed were half as fast as it is now, each lunar day would be twice as long. This would affect the Moon's gravitational pull on Earth, leading to changes in tides and potentially impacting ecosystems that rely on tidal rhythms.
Why you always look at the same side of moon?
the reason you only see one side of the moon is because the rotation of the moon and the revolution speed of the moon are the same
Does the earth's rotation speed up during tides?
no it just has to do with the position of the earth and moon
Would the earth spin faster or slower if their was no moon?
The Earth's rotation rate would remain fairly constant if there was no moon to affect it. The moon plays a role in slowing down Earth's rotation over very long periods of time due to tidal forces. Without the moon, the Earth's rotation would not experience significant changes in speed.
Moon in rotation?
the length of the moon's rotation is 27.3 days (about 1 month)
Does the moon have historical impact on the earth?
The moon's rotation is not as fast as the Earth's rotation.
The rotation of the moon gives us night and darkness?
No. The rotation of the moon has no influence on daylight or darkness. It's the rotation of the earth that does it.
Why do you not see the far side of the moon?
cuz +he moon spin and orbi+ happen at +he same speed. Tidal forces between earth and the moon have slowed the moon's rotation in a manner that causes the same side of the moon to always be facing earth.
Does the earths rotation speed up from the moon?
No. Just the opposite. The earth's rotation is slowing down because of the gravitational force between the earth and the moon. The day is getting longer by something like a millisecond (0.001 second) every hundred years.
What two factors determine when tides occur?
The rotation of the Earth and the moon
What is the length of rotation of the earth's moon?
the length of the moon's rotation is 27.3 days (about 1 month)
If moon has static rotation then how gravity is produced on moon?
Gravity is caused by mass, it is unrelated to rotation.
