The rotation of the moon, or the time it takes to rotate on it's axis exactly once, is
27.322 days (rounded), and the moon's orbital period, or the time the moon takes
to complete one full revolution around the Earth, exactly the same. That's why the
Moon appears to always show the same face. We see the same side of the moon
and never get to view the far side from Earth.
What else can I help you with?
What is Andromedas rotational period?
what is Saturn's moon Titan's rotational period
What is Ananke's rotational period in earth days?
Ananke's rotational period is around 45.7 Earth days. It rotates on its axis at a slower rate compared to many other moons in our solar system.
The fact that most moons always show the same face to their planet is?
due to a phenomenon called synchronous rotation, where the moon's rotational period is equal to its orbital period. This gravitational interaction causes one side of the moon to always face the planet.
How many moons does haumea have?
A day on Haumea is very short, since its rotational period is just 3.9155 hours. It takes 284.12 Earth-years (103774 Earth-days) for it to completely orbit the Sun, which means there are 636,081.216 Haumean days in one Haumean year.
How long does Saturn take to rotate and revolve?
Saturn has a sidereal rotational period of 10.57 hours and a rotational velocity of 9.87 km per second. Because of its gaseous composition, it has a varying rotational period at the poles which is about 10 hours 45 minutes.
What is the rotational period of Uranus?

What it the rotational period of Venus?
243 days in earth days and no earth years.
What is the rotational period of Haumea?
Haumea's rotational period is 3.9155 hours.
What State is at which the moon orbital and rotational periods are equal?
A state of `synchronous rotation`. Its where the rotational period of the moon is equal to orbital rotation period about Earth, one face of the moon will always appear to face earth. In our moons case this is due to tidal locking.

Compare the rotational period of the inner and outer planets?
The inner planets, such as Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, have shorter rotational periods ranging from about 24 hours to a few days. In comparison, the outer planets, like Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, have longer rotational periods ranging from around 10 hours to a few days. This difference is mainly due to the size and mass distribution of the planets.
