I would like ot to rotate the other direction as us. I think its core would have to be solid an mor active to generate auroras but dude thatd be like purgatory dragging us to the morning star i just hope mars can tow odin an us safely through the astroid belt so we can build the dyson sphere and use jupiter as a surrogate star fuel to steer the sun to the next solar system while maintaing solargeo synchronicity . Idk wtf im talkin about
Earth and Venus are closer to each other than mercury and Venus, so why doesn’t Venus prevent the moon from being tidally locked with earth? The moon should have a greater resonance than murcury.
So the moon is tidally locked due to its proximity to earth? Otherwise other gravitational forces would break it free of being locked around the earth? And the moon would then spin independently of its orbit?
It's not accurate to say that the moon doesn't rotate. The moon does indeed rotate; it's just that it's rotational period is the same as its orbital period. To answer your question - the moon is a LOT closer to Earth - even relatively speaking - than Mercury is from other celestial bodies. YES is the answer to your question. The moon is close enough to Earth (only 240,000 miles), but far enough away from other objects that the tidal forces are insignificant compared to the Earth. One important thing to understand is that it is not the STRENGTH of gravity that creates a tidal force, but rather the VARIANCE that creates it. That is - a variance across the body itself. The moon is very close to Earth (astronomically speaking), so the force on one side of the moon is significantly different than the other side. It's this DIFFERENCE that creates the tidal force which causes tidal locking. There just isn't anything close enough to create this same kind of variance across the moon as the Earth does - just a quarter of a million miles away. Look at it this way - Mercury orbits 42ish million miles from the sun. Venus orbits 66ish million miles from the sun. There are periods of time where Venus is closer to Mercury than the sun is. The same cannot be said of our moon. To put this on the scale of the moon - it would be like the moon being 240,000 miles from the Earth and there being some other object just 380,000 miles from the Earth tugging on the moon. That's obviously not the case. The closest any other object gets to the moon would be Venus - which at its closest is about 40 million miles. This is well over 160 TIMES farther than the distance to the Earth. For this reason, there just isn't anything out there creating a tidal force on the moon anywhere near as significant as the Earth does.
@@willoughbykrenzteinburgif true then it seems to me that the celestial bodies don’t spin on their own. They simply fallow distortion in time space, or distortion of the fabric of space. Like a boat causing distortion in water underneath making things move
Sorry to inform you that the Moon does rotate. It takes the Moon 27.3 days to rotate around its axis and it takes the Moon 27.3 days to rotate around the Earth.
@@willoughbykrenzteinburg are you actually dumb enough to not understand what I said? It ROTATION speed is the same as it's ORBIT speed, meaning although it DOES ROTATE we only see ONE SIDE
The moon does spin. It spins on it's axis every 27 days and it orbital period of the earth is the same so we don't see it rotate on its axis. But it does spin
Not a scientist, but it does rotate, It's rotation matches the sun light reflecting on it so the only time we see the moon, is when the earth is not blocking the sun in the area of the earth you live. Amazing how it's worked out that way with the creation the universe and beyond.
Earth rotates on its access, orbits the sun, sun orbits black hole of Milky Way, galaxy shooting through the universe, four different motions in four different directions at ridiculous speeds each one, and yet? We’ve seen the same stars/constellations in the firmament for Eons, they all rotate pivoting on Polaris in ONE circular motion, NOT FOUR… how’s this posible Neal? Anyone?
@@USos The problem with the question being asked, is that the premise on which it's being asked is wrong. The 'wrong' part, is that the OP is a deluded flat earth believing fool, so straight away, their level of understanding is practically nil.
No dark side? What do you call the side of the moon that we can never see even though NASA says they’ve seen it. Do a pod with the images they won’t release
That would be the far side of the moon, the reason it’s not the dark side is that it gets sunlight hen we have a new moon. There are lots of pictures of the far side, literally thousands
Did you actually not understand that the reference to the far side of the moon, that is sometimes referred to as the 'dark side', isn't actually 'dark' (as in shade) at all? It receives just as much sunlight on average as the side of the moon that always faces earth.
How can an object "rotate" and be "tidally locked" at the same time? If you spin your child by the arms they are tidally locked to you. They cannot rotate in the slightest. You're never swinging them by the feet at any time....youd throw your child trying to rotate them. Ill never understand this...
I'm no scientist but I think the earth rotates faster than the moon so it doesn't make sense that the earth being the father and the moon being the son spin around holding hands.
@@saad.bukhari Thats true, but that's what tidally locked is. The earths spin is irrelevant to the theory. Like if there was a bearing at earths center tidally locking the moon while the crust spins over it.
Imagine if the earth was tidally locked to the sun, with one side constantly facing it. If the moon rotated on its own axis at such a slow pace then at some point someone on earth would see the other side of the moon. But nope, everyone sees the SAME side. Looks like the moon just orbits earth constantly looking at us...
How did you get to be so damaged anyway, in order to actually believe that the earth is flat? Perhaps you were deprived of oxygen at birth and you now have a permanent brain injury that affects your ability to think rationally?

You're correct man
Smarter than you definitely, smart enough not to believe everything somebody says because they are educated. Common sense would do you well.
Both informative and heartwarming! 😍
it's amazing that moon's rotation ratio matches perfectly with it's orbit
There are no coincidences
moon and sun came from same source . its just electromagnetic phenomena
@@LordDeBahs Sure, and I bet you think that Santa Claus really does live at the north pole?

Thank you, finally a simple easy response
I would like the full clip that goes more into depth
I want to know what happens if something caused the moon to rotate
Probably the 🌊 will be taller
It does not rotate.... the moon is not a terra firme its not a globe., its all lies, do your research.

That’s awesome!
actually our moon does spin, and it takes a rotation of earth to spin
That's a smart kid!
Earth and Venus are closer to each other than mercury and Venus, so why doesn’t Venus prevent the moon from being tidally locked with earth? The moon should have a greater resonance than murcury.
So the moon is tidally locked due to its proximity to earth? Otherwise other gravitational forces would break it free of being locked around the earth? And the moon would then spin independently of its orbit?
In addition our tidal schedule would be no longer.
Now i knew the correct answer 😮
Okay, but then why doesnt the moon rotate? It’s small enough to be affected by the earth but too far from any other other large stellar objects?
It's not accurate to say that the moon doesn't rotate. The moon does indeed rotate; it's just that it's rotational period is the same as its orbital period.

@AntilleanConfederation I need the weed you're smoking.
@@willoughbykrenzteinburg you seem to lack basic knowledge of physics and what gravity does to space/time
@@AntilleanConfederation What you think I lack is of no concern to me.
Sun's gravity on moon?... doesn't it prevent tidal lock?
@@sangramkapre eeeh.🤔🤨
Earth is is 81.5 times more massive than the moon.
@@sangramkapreis the earth spin increasing due to the moons gravity assisting the spin. Or slowing it down.
Sorry to inform you that the Moon does rotate. It takes the Moon 27.3 days to rotate around its axis and it takes the Moon 27.3 days to rotate around the Earth.
So use your brain a little further; we would only ever see one side due to its orbital time frame and rotation speed.
@@menacetosociety2033 Are you actually challenging the claim that the moon rotates?
@@willoughbykrenzteinburg are you actually dumb enough to not understand what I said? It ROTATION speed is the same as it's ORBIT speed, meaning although it DOES ROTATE we only see ONE SIDE
@@willoughbykrenzteinburg I literally said it rotates and implied it by stating it's ROTATION speed is the same for it's ORBIT speed
@@menacetosociety2033 So, "no" is the answer. That would have sufficed. But, your ego wanted to add a bit.... You picked a fitting name.

Lovely kid
Non of that made any sense... He used Pluto and its moon as a REFRENCE ?
That man talks proper, he doesn't talk white, there's a difference
Hang on they say the moon does rotate
The moon does spin. It spins on it's axis every 27 days and it orbital period of the earth is the same so we don't see it rotate on its axis. But it does spin
What? That's it rotating around the earth.
Edit: did some research. You're correct. Sorry about that
Is that a fact
The moon does rotate
I thought the moon did rotate
i didnt know the moon doesnt rotate too lol
