The Moon's orbital period (time to orbit Earth) is about 27.3 days, which is the same as its rotational period (time to rotate once on its axis). This synchronous rotation is why we always see the same face of the Moon from Earth.
what is inclined at an angle of11.5 to earth's rotational axis?
Synchronous rotation occurs when the moon's orbital period (the time it takes to orbit the Earth) and rotational period (the time it takes to rotate on its axis) are equal. This means that the same side of the moon always faces the Earth.
In a rotational pattern.
Rotation means the planet spinning about it axis. (Orbit the the path of the planet round the Sun). The planet Mercury has a rotational period of 58.646 Earth days. The planet Venus has a (retrograde) rotational period of 243.0185 Earth days. The planet Mars has a rotational period of 1.025957 Earth days. The planet Jupiter has a rotational period of 9.925 hours. Obviously Earth has a rotational period of 1 Earth day.
The earth will have both rotational and circular motions. Rotational motion because of the earth rotating about its own axis(axis joining the line north and south poles). Circular motion because of moving around the sun.
Earth's rotational axis has an inclination of 23.5 degrees. The angle is measured from a line that is perpendicular to Earth's plane of rotation (the Ecliptic).
Io's rotational period, or the time it takes for the moon to complete one full rotation on its axis, is approximately 42.5 hours. This means that a day on Io lasts around 42.5 Earth hours.
The rotational kinetic energy of the Earth is approximately 2.14 × 10^29 joules. This energy is a result of the Earth's rotation about its axis. It contributes to the overall energy balance of the Earth system.
The moon orbits the Earth in a period that doesn't exactly equal the rotational period of Earth itself, so half the time it's on the opposite side of the Earth from wherever you happen to be.
The Earth's rotational speed is gradually slowing. There are a number of instances where time calculations have meant that we periodically add a 'leap second' to bring the actual time back into sync with the Earth's rotation.
