Description : The moon is showing its same face to the earth because – (1) It is not rotating about its own axis (2) Its rotation and revolution are opposite (3) Its periods of rotation and revolution are the same (4) Its rotation is faster than its revolution
Last Answer : (3) Its periods of rotation and revolution are the same Explanation: Because it is "tidally-locked" to the Earth. The Earth's gravity slows down the moon's rotation, so that it rotates at the same ... who walks around a center pole, but shifts their body so they are always facing it as they walk.
Description : We always see the same face of the moon, because (1) it is smaller than the earth (2) it revolves on its axis in a direction opposite to that of the earth (3) it takes equal time for revolution around the earth and rotation on its own axis (4) it rotates at the same speed as the earth around the sun
Last Answer : it takes equal time for revolution around the earth and rotation on its own axis
Description : We always see the same lace of the moon, because - (1) It is smaller than the earth (2) It revolves on its axis in a direction opposite to that of the earth (3) It takes equal time for revolution ... the earth and rotation on its own axis (4) It rotates at the same speed as the earth around the sun
Last Answer : (3) It takes equal time for revolution around the earth and rotation on its own axis Explanation: It is tidal locking that causes the synchronous rotation which causes the Moon to present "just one side ... to revolve (orbit) around the Earth. So it maintains a "constant face" in our direction.
