What else can I help you with?
What can you infer about a moon that exhibits retrograde motion?
Retrograde motion in moons typically suggests an irregular orbit that is opposite to the direction of the planet's rotation. This is often an indicator of a captured moon rather than one that formed alongside the planet.
Is the moon a terrestrial planet?
No. The moon is not a planet; it is a moon. If it had its own orbit around the sun it would be considered a terrestrial planet.
What is the reason for moon's circular motion around the earth?
Earth exerts a pull on the moon, which keeps it orbiting the Earth. Since the Earth is so big compared to the moon, it pulls the moon toward it. In a sense, the moon is falling towards the Earth, but since the moon is also moving forwards, it ends up going around and around the Earth.
Does moon has its own orbit?
The moon does has its own orbit around this planet, believe it or not. The moon does have its own gravitational pull strong enough so it won't go crashing into the Earth , yet not that strong to break out of Earth's gravitational reach to the moon.
What is the ratio of earth?
The answer depends on what characteristics being compared and the comparator. Possible examples:mass of earth to mass of sun (or a planet, or moon)radius of earth to radius of sun (or a planet, or moon)volume of earth to volume of sun (or a planet, or moon)mass of earth to its volumeperiod of rotation to period of revolutionorbital period to the average distance from the sunalbedo of earth to albedo of a planet, or moonThere are many other possibilities. Unfortunately, you have not specified any and so it is not possible to provide a more useful answer.
What can you infer about a moon that exhibits retrograde motion?
Retrograde motion in moons typically suggests an irregular orbit that is opposite to the direction of the planet's rotation. This is often an indicator of a captured moon rather than one that formed alongside the planet.
What is a planet's backward motion called?
The term "retrograde motion" means that a satellite (moon) moves in the opposite direction from what would be expected or common. A retrograde orbit is one opposite the rotation of the planet being orbited. This is the case with satellites of Jupiter and Saturn that are likely captured asteroids. The planet Venus exhibits retrograde rotation because it spins very slowly in a clockwise direction (as seen from above). The dwarf planet Pluto likewise rotates clockwise. All other planets display counter-clockwise rotations, and all planets orbit the Sun counter-clockwise. (The planet Uranus is tilted on its side, and could be considered retrograde as well.)
What moon revolves around its planet in a retrograde orbit?
Titan is not one of them, but there are several moons that revolve in retrograde orbits.The most well-known is probably Triton, the largest moon of Neptune.Triton is the only large moon in the solar system to have retrograde motion.
When does a planet is said to be in retrograde motion?
A planet is said to be in retrograde motion when its apparent motion - the motion as seen by us, against the background stars - is from east to west.Planets spend more time in prograde motion, from west to east. The apparent movement of Sun and Moon against the background stars is also from west to east. Not to be confused with the daily motion, due to Earth's rotation.
What planet has a moon with a retrograde revolution?
Neptune. The moon is called Triton.
What moon revolves around its planet in retrograde orbit?
Triton, the largest moon of Neptune, is the only large moon that orbits its planet in a retrograde motion. That is to say that its orbital direction is in the opposite direction to the planets rotation. Triton is thought to have been an object 'captured' from the Kuiper belt.
What is retograde motion?
Retrograde motion is the optical illusion where a celestial object appears to move backwards in its orbit relative to the background stars. This phenomenon occurs when Earth, or another planet, passes another in its orbit, causing the perceived motion of the planet to briefly change direction. It is an apparent change in the planet's motion and not an actual change in its orbit.
What moon is in a retrograde orbit?
The moon Phoebe, a moon of Saturn, is known to be in a retrograde orbit. Its orbit is opposite to the rotation of the planet it orbits, making it unique compared to most other moons in our solar system.
What planet exhibits reverse rotation?
Venus is the planet that exhibits reverse rotation. After the Moon, the planet Venus is the brightest object in the sky at night.
When a planet that appears to spin counterclockwise when viewed from its north pole has what kind of rotation?
Any planet, moon or object that rotates in the opposite to us (Well we have to have a common denominator) is said to be in retrograde rotation (or retrograde motion) But most objects in the solar system appear to spin counterclockwise when viewed from above the north pole, so this is normal rotation, not retrograde.
What moon has a retrograde orbit?
Neptune's moon Triton has a retrograde orbit, meaning it orbits in the opposite direction to the planet's rotation. This is unique among the major moons in our solar system.
What is a retrograde motion?
Rotation that is opposite to the common rotation of most objects in the solar system. Most of the planets rotate counter-clockwise, while Venus and Uranus rotate in a retrograde motion - clockwise. moving backward motion
