When the Moon reaches equal periods of orbital and rotational periods it's known as rotation?
When a satelite's rotational period is the same as its orbital period, like our moon, the satelite is tidally locked to the body being orbited. Such a rotation rate is known as a synchronous rotation. The effect is that the same side of the satelite always faces the orbited body.

The earth would not have seasons if?
The Earth would not have seasons if its axis was not tilted with respect to its orbit around the Sun. Seasons are caused by this tilt, which affects the angle at which sunlight reaches different parts of the Earth throughout the year.
What is the orbital path of an object around another?
An orbital path is the place at which when a space craft reaches a free fall (just beyond the Earth's atmosphere) and then adds a thrust to propel the space craft. This causes the space craft to orbit the Earth. While the space craft is falling back into the Earth's atmosphere the thrust is causing the space craft to remain at a stationary altitude in relation to the Earth, but not to objects beyond Earth, because the Earth is round.
What is the significance of orbital obliquity in relation to Earth's climate patterns?
Orbital obliquity refers to the tilt of Earth's axis, which affects the distribution of sunlight on the planet. Changes in orbital obliquity can lead to variations in the intensity and distribution of sunlight, influencing Earth's climate patterns. This can result in changes in temperature, precipitation, and overall climate conditions over long periods of time.
What are the stages of a rocket taking off?
The stages of a rocket taking off include ignition, liftoff, ascent, staging, and orbital insertion. During ignition, the rocket's engines are started. Liftoff is when the rocket begins to ascend into the sky. Ascent is the phase where the rocket climbs higher into the atmosphere. Staging involves separating the rocket's sections or stages once their fuel is depleted. Finally, orbital insertion marks when the rocket reaches its intended orbit.
How many days long is the moon's orbit around earth?
The moon's orbital period is roughly 27.32 days. This is the true orbital (sidereal) period of the moon around the earth. The moon's synodic period is roughly 29.53 days. This is the period that is related to the regular pattern of phases of the moon. If the above answers your question, that is good. For a little basic information on how the sidereal and synodic periods differ, read on. It is easier to explain using the earth orbiting the sun as an example, but the same concept applies to the moon. If you observe the earth's movement from far to the north, you will see the earth spinning on its axis. The earth will be orbiting (revolving) counter-clockwise, and also spinning (rotating) counter-clockwise. Just look down from the stars and imagine [or sketch] that you will start observing the earth's spin when the earth is about at the location of '5' on a clock. You can see that the sun is to the left, and higher than the earth in your mental image. Imagine an arrow painted on the earth pointing straight out (exactly straight up, in your mental image) from the earth, in earth's orbital plane, and then when the earth completes exactly one full rotation, the arrow will again be pointing exactly straight up, and you will stop the action; imagine that the earth is now roughly at '2' on a clock. It is ok to exaggerate the orbit in this mental experiment in order to clarify the point. When you stop the action, you realize that not only has the earth been rotating, but it has continued along its orbit around the sun. You notice that the sun is still to the left, but it is now below the earth in your mental image. But the arrow is pointing straight up, indicating that exactly one rotation has taken place. This is the sidereal period; a true rotation relative to the stars. Now, you realize that the spot on the earth that was right under the sun when you started isn't nearly under the sun now that you stopped. The sun is still to the left of the earth, but it is now below the earth in your mental image! When the earth was at '5', a line connecting the earth's center to the center of the sun would slope upwardto the left. At '2', the line would slope downward to the left. The people right under the sun when you started observing don't think that an entire rotation has happened yet, because the sun is not directly overhead! So the earth has to rotate a little longer than one full rotation in order to 'get' the sun to where it 'should' be. This is the synodic period-- the period of rotation based on the earth's position relative to the sun. The very same thing happens with the movement of the moon. The sidereal, or true rotation is a little shorter than the synodic period, because the moon has to orbit (and rotate) a little longer in order to be in the same position relative to the earth and sun. When the moon reaches that point where it is in the same place relative to the earth and sun, you observe exactly the same moon phase as when you started.
What is a rotational line of symmetry?
It is the axis of symmetry which is a line such that a object that is rotated at right angles to it becomes congruent to its original state before the angle of rotation reaches 360 degrees.
What is the difference distance wise between low orbital spaceflight and sub orbital spaceflight?
Sub-orbital space flight reaches space while low orbital spaceflight attain sufficient velocity to go to space.
The earth would not have seasons if?
The Earth would not have seasons if its axis was not tilted with respect to its orbit around the Sun. Seasons are caused by this tilt, which affects the angle at which sunlight reaches different parts of the Earth throughout the year.
What is rotation speed of earth at 28 degrees latitude?
The rotation speed of the Earth varies with latitude due to its spherical shape. At 28 degrees latitude, the rotational speed is approximately 800 miles per hour (about 1,287 kilometers per hour). This speed is lower than at the equator, where it reaches about 1,670 kilometers per hour (1,040 miles per hour) due to the Earth's curvature.
Can you consider earth as having a uniform velocity?
No. Earth's rotational velocity is slowing. Do you mean the velocity of Earth's revolution around the sun? The earth speeds up in its orbit until it reaches perihelion, and then slows until it reaches aphelion.
Where Sunlight reaches earth approximately?
Sunlight reaches the surface of the Earth at all points where there is daylight. The distribution of sunlight on Earth varies throughout the day due to the rotation of the Earth on its axis.
What is bottom dead center?
it's the point in the rotation of a internal combustion engine just before the piston reaches the bottom of it's down stroke
Earth's orbital velocity is slowest on July 5 because?
On that date Earth is farthest away from the Sun.
What is the launch path of a sateillte called?
The launch path of a satellite is called its trajectory. This trajectory is the path that the satellite follows from launch until it reaches its final orbital destination in space.
What are Day and night are caused by?
The rotation of the earth.
What is before bottom dead center?
it's the point in the rotation of a internal combustion engine just before the piston reaches the bottom of it's down stroke
When a rolling yoyo falls to the bottom of its cord does it reverse rotation as it climbs back up the cord?
Yes, when a rolling yoyo reaches the bottom of its cord and starts climbing back up, it needs to reverse its rotation in order to move in the opposite direction. This reversal of rotation allows the yoyo to unwind as it descends and wind back up as it ascends.
