Rotation

Rotation period

The rotation period of a celestial object (e.g., star, gas giant, planet, moon, asteroid) may refer to its sidereal rotation period, i.e. the time that the object takes to complete a single revolution around its axis of rotation relative to the background stars, measured in sidereal time. The other type of commonly used rotation period is the object's synodic rotation period (or solar day), measured in solar time, which may differ by a fraction of a rotation or more than one rotation to accommodate the portion of the object's orbital period during one day. (Wikipedia).

Teach Astronomy - Motion of the Moon

http://www.teachastronomy.com/ We always see the same features on the surface of the Moon.  This means that the Moon's rotational period equals the time that it takes to orbit the Earth.  This is called synchronous rotation.  The time that it takes for one phase of the Moon to recur in the

Teach Astronomy - Solar and Sidereal Day

http://www.teachastronomy.com/ A sidereal day is a period of the Earth's rotation with respect to the celestial sphere, the time it takes for a star to appear at the same angle in the sky from one day to the next. A solar day is a period of the Earth's rotation with respect the Sun, the t
