Bodies spin through momentum; nothing's stopping them from spinning so they keep on spinning. The moon have a complication, because it's orbiting the Earth they have become tidally locked; so the Moon's rotation period is that same as the time to orbit the Earth.
The Moon's period of rotation is about 27.3 days, which is the time it takes to complete one full rotation on its axis. This is the same amount of time it takes for the Moon to complete one orbit around the Earth. As a result, the same side of the Moon always faces the Earth.
The rotation period of the moon is 27.32 days.
The moon is affected by the Earth primarily through gravitational forces. This interaction leads to phenomena such as the moon orbiting the Earth, causing tidal effects on Earth's oceans, and influencing the moon's rotation to always keep one face toward Earth.
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.
The rotation of the earth keeps a foucault pendulum moving
The Moon always keeps the same side facing Earth so its rotation period is the same as its period of revolution around the Earth. These periods are both about 27.3 Earth days.
Tidal forces cause the moon to be in a 1 to 1 resonance with the earth.
The force that keeps all of our planets in rotation is gravity.
The Moon's period of rotation is about 27.3 days, which is the time it takes to complete one full rotation on its axis. This is the same amount of time it takes for the Moon to complete one orbit around the Earth. As a result, the same side of the Moon always faces the Earth.
yes... Its frequency of revolution equals its frequency of rotation.
Its own rotation keeps pace with its orbit in such a way that only one "side" faces the Earth.
the length of the moon's rotation is 27.3 days (about 1 month)
The moon's rotation is not as fast as the Earth's rotation.
No. The rotation of the moon has no influence on daylight or darkness. It's the rotation of the earth that does it.
The rotation of the Earth and the moon
the length of the moon's rotation is 27.3 days (about 1 month)
Gravity is caused by mass, it is unrelated to rotation.
