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.
They are in a line with Earth in the middle.
If the moon did not rotate around Earth, it would likely drift away from our planet due to gravitational forces. This rotation is what keeps the moon in a stable orbit around Earth. Without it, the moon's position relative to Earth would change, potentially leading to significant disruptions in our planet's tides and climate.
Yes. Both rotate or "scientifically" orbit.The Moon orbits The Earth and The Earth orbits The Sun. While orbiting The Earth The Moon also turns on its axis. While orbiting The Sun The Earth also turns on its axis.
27.3 Days
no they don't
They rotate around each other, and work together to create tides.
Earth's moon does rotate on it's axis but it does it once each orbit of the Earth: every 27.3 days .
That isn't the answer. The reason why only one side of the moon is visible from the surface of the Earth is that the moon always keeps one side facing the Earth, which requires it to rotate once for each revolution of its orbit.
Yes. Each moon revolves around its own planet. Our Moon revolves around Earth.
No. The moon rotates once for every orbit it makes around Earth.
Moon takes 27 days to rotate earth for one cycle.
Zero times. It takes the Moon about 27.3 days to revolve just once around the Earth.
The moon does rotate on its axis as the earth does. The earth rotates once in a day and the moon rotates once in a month ( for those who want to quibble, it's a little more than 27 days ). ADD---the moon rotate at the same speed of the earth, that why we always see the same side of the moon which give the impresion that the moon doesnt rotate but it does!
it would still appear to rotate
it would still appear to rotate
because or the gravity of the moon and earth
Once . The Moon is tidally locked to the Earth, with one face of the moon always facing the Earth, and the other side never facing the Earth .
