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.


Because the moon rotates once for each revolution around earth?

The same half of its surface is always visible from the Earth.


What do we mean when we say the earth rotates and revolves?

A rotating object is spinning, like a top, or the central part of a gyroscope. Earth's movement in its orbit around the sun each year is called revolution. Earth rotates on its axis causing day and night, and it revolves around the sun, marking the passages of years.


What do weobserve since the moon rotates for each revolution around the earth?

We always see the same features on the surface - since the rotation is the same period as the orbit.


The moon rotates about how many days?

The moon rotates on its axis once each 27.32 days. Also, the time it takes to complete one orbital revolution around the Earth is exactly the same as its rotation period. That's why the "face" of the moon visible from Earth is always the same.


How does the earth take to rotate around the the sun?

Forever. The Earth rotates around the Sun(once each year), not the other way around.


What is the moons period of rotation?

Forever. The Earth rotates around the Sun(once each year), not the other way around.


How long does it take Earth rotate around the sun?

Forever. The Earth rotates around the Sun(once each year), not the other way around.


What is the similarity of earths revolution and rotation?

Earth rotates on its axis and it revolves around the sun. Both things conserve earth's angular momentum. Each rotation is a day, and each solar revolution is a year. The days and years both help us mark the passage of time. Other than that, there are not too many similarities.


Does the moon rotate on its axis twice each time it revolves around earth?

No. The moon rotates once for every orbit it makes around Earth.


Does the moon rises later each day due to its counterclockwise revolution around the earth?

Yes. The moon movies in the same direction that the Earth rotates (same cause - the collision that formed the moon caused the Earth's rotation) so the Earth must turn a bit more each day to align the moon with the observer's horizon.
