What is the period of rotation or revolution for Earth's Moon or for another moon?
The Moon's period of rotation on its axis is approximately 27.3 days, which is also the same duration it takes to complete one orbit around the Earth. This synchronous rotation means that the same side of the Moon always faces our planet. Other moons, like Jupiter's moon Io, have different periods; Io has a rotation and revolution period of about 1.8 days.
How is rotation different from revolution?
"Rotation" refers to an object's spinning motion about its own axis. "Revolution" refers the object's orbital motion around another object
What takes the most time one revolution of earth or one revolution around the moon or one rotation of the earth or one rotation of the moon?
-- The Earth rotates on its axis in roughly 4 minutes less than 24 hours.-- The Moon revolves around the Earth AND rotates on its axis in 27.32 days.-- The Earth revolves around the sun once a year.
What amount of time of the Moon's revolution and rotation?
Our moon takes 27.32 days to revolve once around the Earth,27.32 days to rotate once on its axis, and 29.53 days to displaya full cycle of 'phases'. The "Full Moon" is one so-called phase,that technically occupies only a single moment in time, althoughthe moon looks practially full for a day or two before and after.
Do the earth and moon rotate with each other?
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.

What phenomenon results when the moon's period of rotation and revolution are the same?
When the moon's period of rotation is equal to its period of revolution, it results in synchronous rotation. This means the same side of the moon always faces the Earth.
What two motions does the moon have?
revolution anad rotation
What is the period of revolution and rotation in earth time?
the moon
What do you notice about the rotation and revolution periods of the moon?
They are the same. The Moon rotates once for each revolution around the Earth.
When is the complete rotation of the moon?
The moon is tidally locked to the earth, so it's rotation and revolution are the same. About 29 days.
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.
What created the Moon's rotation and the revolution?
Because it orbits earth
Does earth's moon have a 27 day revolution and rotation?
yes
How many motions does the moon have?
The moon has three main motions: rotation on its axis, revolution around the Earth, and axial tilt. Rotation on its axis gives us different views of the moon's surface, while revolution around the Earth causes its phases. Axial tilt influences the moon's position relative to the Earth and the sun, affecting tides.
Equal periods of rotation and revolution of the moon cause what?
Cause us to always see the same "face" of the moon. This is called synchronous rotation.
What is Saturn's rotation time around the moon?
Saturn does not orbit the moon, it orbits the sun. This is called its revolution, not its rotation. Saturn's period of rotation on its axis is 10 hours 33 minutes. Its period of revolution around the sun 29.45 years.
