How does the moon revolve around the earth? The direction of the revolution.

The moon is the only natural satellite of the earth, and the two are closely related. So do you know how the moon goes around the earth? What is the direction in which the moon revolves around the earth? Then let's use constellation knowledge to reveal the answer!

How does the moon revolve around the earth: it revolves around the center of the earth and the moon together.

The earth and the moon revolve around the center of the earth and the moon-this center is inside the earth, so it seems that we think the moon revolves around the earth.

The direction of revolution is from west to east-that is, the moon rotates counterclockwise around the earth from the North Pole and clockwise around the earth from the South Pole. Period of revolution is a little over 29 days.

The direction of the moon's rotation is from west to east, that is, the direction of the moon's rotation and revolution is the same. The rotation period is also a little more than 29 days, so the moon always faces the earth while turning. In other words, the moon is like a synchronous satellite of the earth.

The mass of the earth is about 8 1 times that of the moon, and the attraction of the sun to the earth should be 8 1 times that of the moon. The attraction of the moon to the earth is numerically equal to the attraction of the earth to the moon, that is, the attraction of the sun to the earth is 162 times that of the moon to the earth. The attraction between them is not enough to keep them together. At first glance, it should have been absorbed by the sun. We just need to consider earth-moon system as a whole, or the rationality of their center of mass orbiting the sun.

The direction of the moon's revolution around the earth is from west to east.

The moon is a satellite of the earth. It revolves around the earth from west to east.

All the planets in the solar system are in the same direction when they orbit the sun, that is, their revolution direction is from west to east. Why is this? In fact, this is related to the rotation direction of the solar nebula in the early days of the formation of the solar system. When the solar system was formed, the initial nebula was disturbed by external interference forces (such as nearby supernova explosions), which gave it initial power. The solar system nebula that began to rotate rotated from west to east, so that all the subsequent planets rotated from west to east.

The same is true of satellites. The moon is the natural satellite of the earth. Basically all the satellites in the solar system rotate from west to east. Except for a few satellites with very small diameters, some satellites are only about 10km in diameter, which is very small. Once this happens, the satellite and the planet it is attached to will rotate in different directions, and the planet will easily tear it apart. This is why the satellites rotating from east to west are all small. One day, due to gravity, they will all fall into neighboring planets.

The only slightly special large satellite orbiting from east to west is Triton, also known as Triton. It is the largest satellite of Neptune and the 16th celestial body in the solar system, second only to the 14th moon and 15th Europa. Because Neptune and Uranus have few satellites, unlike gas planets like Jupiter and Saturn, scientists infer that planets like Neptune may have many satellites at first.

Because it is close to the Kuiper Belt, celestial bodies in the Kuiper Belt may enter Neptune's gravitational range, and after being bound, it may affect the original Neptune system, causing some satellites to be squeezed out, and Neptune's satellites will become less. This can also explain why Triton is so big, but it is still circling from east to west, because it is foreign and may be attracted when it happens to turn from east to west.
