SansSuit 1 #6 December 31, 2008 OK, why is it that the earth rotates as it revolves around the sun (Somebody standing on the sun sees all the sides of the earth), but the moon doesn't rotate as it revolves around the earth?Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnMitchell 16 #9 December 31, 2008 Quote OK, why is it that the earth rotates as it revolves around the sun (Somebody standing on the sun sees all the sides of the earth), but the moon doesn't rotate as it revolves around the earth? tidal attraction. As the moon cooled, the denser material collected towards Earth, and, since it is imbalanced, it keeps the heavy side towards us. I think. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wildcard451 0 #11 December 31, 2008 Moon takes about a month to rotate around the earth. It also takes about a month to rotate on its axis. We always see the same side. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
popsjumper 2 #12 December 31, 2008 QuoteMoon takes about a month to rotate around the earth. It also takes about a month to rotate on its axis. BS. It's the aliens. They have gravitational powers that control the moon to keep themselves hidden from us. QuoteWe always see the same side. See? That's the proof!My reality and yours are quite different.

lawrocket 3 #13 December 31, 2008 The moon DOES rotate - once a month - which is why we never see the other side of it. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
