How long is 1 day on Io?
A day on Io, one of Jupiter's moons, lasts about 42.5 Earth hours.
What is the result of the moons period of rotation?
how is the crater density used in the relative dating
Type of rotation of planets or moon that has a counter clockwise spin?
Counter clockwise rotation is also known as retrograde rotation. This type of rotation is less common and can be seen in some planets and moons, such as Venus and Uranus.
What would cause a planet to face the sun throughout the year?
Synchronous rotation or tidal locking. The Moon is in synchronous rotation about the Earth. Most major moons in the solar system have a synchronous rotation.
Why do planets moons have moons rotation?
I will assume you mean "why do the moons of planets rotate?" this is because the moon has mascons (mass concentrations). these mascons are attracted by the planet more than the rest of the moon, so these parts of the moon always face towards the planet, meaning that the moon rotates
What is the moons two motions?
Rotation and Revolution.
Why the moons appear at night?
Due to Earth's rotation.
How long does it take for the moon to make 1 rotation?
27.3217 days. This is known as the moon's sidereal rotation period. The time between full moons is longer because the earth is going around the sun.
How long is 1 day on Io?
A day on Io, one of Jupiter's moons, lasts about 42.5 Earth hours.
What is the length of the moons rotation?
Same as it's orbital period, about 27.32 days.
What causes the apparent repeated changes of the moons shape?
The Earth's and Moon's rotation.
Explain the Moons period of rotation versus period of revolution.?
They are precisely equal.
What is the result of the moons period of rotation?
how is the crater density used in the relative dating
What is the period of rotation and the number of moons on the chart on page 63 in astronomy?
9326
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
Why does the moon look different every night.?
because of the rotation of the earth and the moons orbit
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.
