Is the moon and sun a planet?

Neither the Sun nor the Moon are planets. Planets rotate around the Sun. Moons rotate around planets. There are other rules to explain the difference between planets and asteroids and comets which also rotate around the sun. Such as planets because of their strong gravitational field, clear objects in their rotation around the Sun, something a small asteroid, nor a small comet can do. However, neither the Sun (which planets rotate around), nor, the Moon (which rotates around the planet Earth), is a planet.


How long does moon rotate the sun?

The Moon does not rotate around the Sun independently; rather, it orbits the Earth, and together they both orbit the Sun. The Moon takes approximately 27.3 days to complete one orbit around the Earth, and during this time, both the Earth and the Moon are moving in their respective orbit around the Sun. Thus, the Moon indirectly participates in the Earth's annual orbit around the Sun, which takes about 365.25 days.


How many days moon take to rotate around the sun?

The moon takes about 27.3 days to orbit around the Earth, not the sun. This period is called the sidereal month.


Eddie is wondering which parts of the sun-earth-moon system rotate.what should you tell Eddie?

The Sun, Earth, and Moon rotate.


Why is it that you can see the moon during daytime?

The moon takes about 28 days to rotate around the earth. And it takes 24 hours for the earth to rotate in the spot. At some point the moon is at the same side of the earth as the sun. and when the earth is facing the sun it is daytime. so when the moon is at the same side of the earth as the sun you can see it at daytime.

Does the moon and the sun rotate around the sun?

Neither. The Sun and the Moon both rotate around their own axis. See related questions.

What blocks the light from the sun in a solar eclipse?

THE MOON. AS EARTH ROTATE AROUND THE SUN, OUR MOON SLIGHTLY COMES IN FRONT OF THE SUN WHICH BLOCKS THE SUNLIGHT


When do you have a lunar eclipse?

when eath come in between the sun and moon lunar eclipse take place.As we know that moon revolves and rotate around the earth and earth revoles and rotate around the sun,sometimes the earth come between earth and sun while revolving around the sun and moon goes to back side of earth while rotating around the earth............

Yep, you got it.

Is the sun a satillite or a planetWhy?

a planet because other masses rotate around it. a satellite rotates around another mass, ie: our moon rotates around us, making the moon our satellite. the sun doesn't rotate around other masses making it a planet


How do moon changes?

The moon changes shape as the planets (in this case the planet would be Earth) rotate around the sun.


Do the earth and moon rotate with each other?

It all depends on where you're standing. On Earth, you can see only one side of the Moon, so you can say that the Moon does NOT rotate relative to Earth. BUT as you watch the Moon all month long, you can see that different parts of it are Sun-lit at different times, so you can also say that the Moon DOES rotate relative to the Sun. Earth definitely rotates with respect to both Moon and Sun. As for 'rotating with each other', no; they both REVOLVE together around the Sun, but they can never ROTATE together. Rotation is a ball spinning, and revolution is the ball's path around a larger, heavier ball. Since the Earth and Moon are two separate balls, each has its own rotation, but they can both share revolution around the Sun.


Does your planet rotate or does the sun rotate around it?

Earth rotates around the sun .
