What else can I help you with?
Will earth always spin at this speed if no how will it change?
No. Tidal interactions with the moon are gradually slowing the rate of Earth's spin
Does the sun and moon spin around the earth?
No, the Earth and the Moon revolve together around the Sun. (The Moon orbits the Earth and both orbit the Sun together.)
If the moon rotates around the earth then how does the same side of the moon face the earth?
First understand that Just like the Earth, the Moon does spin on its axis. However the spin of the Moon is "tidally locked" with Earth so that as the Moon orbits the Earth about every 27 days, it also makes one very slow spin in the same direction every 27 days. This means that no matter when you see the Moon, it always shows the same side to the Earth.
Does the earth spin around the sun or moon?
The Earth neither spins round the Sun nor the Moon. The Earth rotates(spins) on it own axis, top give us night and day. The Moon revolves (orbits) round the Earth once a month (Moonth). The Earth and Moon, as a binary system revolve (orbit) round the Sun once a year. The Moon making 13 orbits of the Earth in once a year.
Would the earth spin faster or slower if their was no moon?
The Earth's rotation rate would remain fairly constant if there was no moon to affect it. The moon plays a role in slowing down Earth's rotation over very long periods of time due to tidal forces. Without the moon, the Earth's rotation would not experience significant changes in speed.
Does the moon spin on an axis as it orbits the Earth?
Yes, the moon does spin on its axis as it orbits the Earth. This is why we always see the same side of the moon facing towards us.
Does the moon spin on its axis faster than the earth?
No. It's much slower. The Earth takes a day to spin round. The Moon takes a month.
Will earth always spin at this speed if no how will it change?
No. Tidal interactions with the moon are gradually slowing the rate of Earth's spin
Does the sun and moon spin around the earth?
No, the Earth and the Moon revolve together around the Sun. (The Moon orbits the Earth and both orbit the Sun together.)
What is causing the moon to accelerate?
The Earth. The Earth and Moon are bound together by gravity and the Earth's tides (caused by the Moon) are accelerating the Moon and slowing the spin of the Earth. This means that the Moon is slowly getting further and further away from Earth.
How long does it take for the moon to spin round the earth?
About a month
If the earth spins faster would the moon go faster around the earth?
No. The speed of the moon's orbit does not depend on Earth's spin; it depends on Earth's mass. However, a faster spin on Earth's part would make the moon appear to move across the sky faster, as it would for the sun and stars.
Does the Earth spin on its axis in the same or opposite direction as the moons orbit?
The direction of the Earth's spin and the direction of the Moon's orbit is the same - counterclockwise
How long does it take for the moon to spin around itself?
It takes about 27.3 days for the Moon to spin once on its axis, which is the same amount of time it takes to complete one orbit around the Earth. This synchronous rotation causes the same side of the Moon to always face Earth.
Can the moon up during daytime?
Yes because the moon and earth move/ spin at a different rate
Does the moon spin like planet Earth?
Yes it does, but much more slowly.
What does the spin rate of the moon have in common with its orbital rate about the earth?
The moon spins quite slowly, about once each 27 days, this monthly rate of spin matches the rate at which the moon revolves about the Eath.
