How does the earths rotation affect the way you view the moon?
The earths rotation effects whether it is night or day (so you'll see the moon at night).
What is the period of rotation and the number of moons on the chart on page 63 in astronomy?
9326
What fraction of the moons of the planets orbit in the same direction that their planets rotate?
Approximately 75% of the moons in our solar system orbit in the same direction that their planets rotate. This is known as prograde motion. Moons that orbit in the opposite direction are called retrograde.
When periods of the moons rotation and revolution are equal what is it called?
When the periods of the moon's rotation and revolution are equal, it is called synchronous rotation. This means that the same side of the moon always faces the Earth.
How does the Moon's movement effect the tides?
The moons gravity 'pulls' the earths water creating a 'tide.'
What is the difference between earths spin and the moons spin?
The earth's period of rotation is a few minutes short of 24 hours, whereas the moon's period of rotation is a bit over 27 days.
Why does the moon look different every night.?
because of the rotation of the earth and the moons orbit
How is the rotation on Venus different from that of most other planets and moons?
It rotates, slowly, the 'wrong' way.
What are ocean currents made of?
its the natural flow of of water causes by the earths magnetic field from it rotation which thus interacts with the moons gravitational pull called"TIDES"
How the rotation of Venus different from that of most other planets and moons?
It's backwards. Venus rotates the opposite direction from most other moons and planets.
How is the rotation of venues different from that of most other planets and moons?
It's backwards. Venus rotates the opposite direction from most other moons and planets.
What causes the sun to rise at different time throughout the year?
beacuse of the earths rotation
Why are there separate time zones?
This is because of the earths rotation. Sunrise and sunset occur at different times in different places
What is the effect of rotation of earth?
The earths rotation causes day and night, wind, tides and ocean currents and its also responsible for the different seasons.
What makes the season change?
because of earths tilt (axis)different amounts of sunlight hit different places at different times that's the answer
Is Pluto smaller the Earths moons?
Yes as Pluto is the smallest and the last planet in the solar system, it is smaller then the earths moons.
How is the rotation of venus different from other planets and moons?
Venus, unlike other heavenly bodies within our solar system, has a retrograde rotation. That is, it rotates in the opposite direction.
