What else can I help you with?
How long does it take for the moon to make 1 rotation?
27.3217 days. This is known as the moon's sidereal rotation period. The time between full moons is longer because the earth is going around the sun.
What is the period of rotation and the number of moons on the chart on page 63 in astronomy?
9326
What is the period of rotation of callisto?
The period of rotation of Callisto, one of Jupiter's moons, is approximately equal to its orbital period, which is about 16.7 Earth days. This means that Callisto takes about 16.7 days to rotate once on its axis.
What is a synchronous rotation?
A synchronous rotation is when an object's rotation period matches its orbital period, causing the same side of the object to always face its orbiting body. This is commonly seen in moons orbiting larger planets, such as Earth's moon.
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.
What is the difference between earths spin and the moons spin?
The earth's period of rotation is a few minutes short of 24 hours, whereas the moon's period of rotation is a bit over 27 days.
Explain the Moons period of rotation versus period of revolution.?
They are precisely equal.
How long does it take for the moon to make 1 rotation?
27.3217 days. This is known as the moon's sidereal rotation period. The time between full moons is longer because the earth is going around the sun.
What is the length of the moons rotation?
Same as it's orbital period, about 27.32 days.
What is the period of rotation and the number of moons on the chart on page 63 in astronomy?
9326
What is the result of the moons period of rotation?
how is the crater density used in the relative dating
What is the period of rotation of callisto?
The period of rotation of Callisto, one of Jupiter's moons, is approximately equal to its orbital period, which is about 16.7 Earth days. This means that Callisto takes about 16.7 days to rotate once on its axis.
Why is the time between two new moons longer than the time it takes the moon to orbit earths once?
Because it is two moons wich equal 1.230 days
What are ocean currents made of?
its the natural flow of of water causes by the earths magnetic field from it rotation which thus interacts with the moons gravitational pull called"TIDES"
Is Pluto smaller the Earths moons?
Yes as Pluto is the smallest and the last planet in the solar system, it is smaller then the earths moons.
What is a synchronous rotation?
A synchronous rotation is when an object's rotation period matches its orbital period, causing the same side of the object to always face its orbiting body. This is commonly seen in moons orbiting larger planets, such as Earth's moon.
What is the moons two motions?
Rotation and Revolution.
