The completion of a moon's revolution around its planet is called an "orbital period" or "lunar month." For Earth’s Moon, this period is approximately 27.3 days, known as the sidereal month. However, the more commonly referenced lunar month in relation to the phases of the Moon is about 29.5 days, called the synodic month.

What is the largest of Mars' moons called?
The largest of Mars' moons is called Phobos.
Where exactly is galilean moons located?
The Galilean moons are the four largest moons of Jupiter, so called because they were discovered by Galileo Galilei.
The object that orbits most plantes are called?
Moons orbit most planets. Moons are celestial bodies that revolve around a planet in a predictable path due to gravitational forces. They vary in size and composition and play a significant role in shaping the planets they orbit.
What are the 3 moons of the inner planets?

Where is the earth 3 moons?
The Earth only has one natural moon, called the Moon. Earth does not have three moons.
What is the moons two motions?
Rotation and Revolution.
What are Jupiter's largest moons called?
they are called moons
When periods of the moons rotation and revolution are equal what is it called?
It is called synchronous rotation when the rotation and orbit take the same amount of time.
Is a orbit called a rotation?
The completion of one orbital trip around a 'central body' is called one "revolution". Staying in one place but spinning around yourself one whole time is called one "rotation".
What is the largest of Mars' moons called?
The largest of Mars' moons is called Phobos.
Why are the moons called the galilean moons?
Because the astronomer galileo galilei discovered the four moons.
Is one orbit called a rotation?
The completion of one orbital trip around a 'central body' is called one "revolution". Staying in one place but spinning around yourself one whole time is called one "rotation".
How do you use the moons movement and phases to tell time?
you use the moons movement and phases to tell time because of the seasons, rotation, and revolution
Explain the Moons period of rotation versus period of revolution.?
They are precisely equal.
What are Neptune's moons like?
Neptune Has 8 moons and the largest of these moons is called Triton and was found by the Voyager2 in 2008
How manny moons does mars have?
Two tiny moons called, "Deimos and Phobos".
Movement of one object around another?
This is known as orbital motion or revolution, where one object moves around another in a regular path due to gravitational attraction. Examples include planets orbiting the sun and moons orbiting planets in our solar system. The motion is governed by the balance between the object's inertia and the gravitational pull from the larger object it is orbiting.
