4. what is the period of rotation of the moon in days?
5. what is the effect of the moons gravity on the earth?

Explanation:

1. A Moon is a natural satellite that orbits a planet.
2. The Moon has two main movements: revolution (orbiting the Earth) and rotation (spinning on its axis).
3. We always see one side of the Moon because its rotation period is equal to its revolution period around the Earth.
4. The period of rotation of the Moon is approximately 27.3 days.
5. The Moon's gravity causes tides on the Earth.

Answer:

1. A natural satellite orbiting a planet.
2. Revolution (orbiting Earth) and rotation (spinning on axis).
3. Rotation period equals revolution period.
4. Approximately 27.3 days.
5. Causes tides.
