What direction does the moon revole around earth​

Biology

Answer: The direction the moon revolves around the earth is Prograde direction.

Explanation: The moon orbits the Earth once every 27.322 days. It also takes approximately 27 days for the moon to rotate once on its axis. As a result, the moon does not seem to be spinning but appears to observers from Earth to be keeping almost perfectly still. Scientists call this synchronous rotation.  The side of the moon that perpetually faces Earth is known as the near side. The opposite, or "back" side is the far side. Sometimes the far side is called the dark side of the moon, but this is inaccurate. When the moon is between the Earth and the sun, during the new moon phase, the backside of the moon is bathed in daylight.  The orbit and the rotation aren't perfectly matched, however. The moon travels around the Earth in an elliptical orbit, a slightly stretched-out circle. When the moon is closest to Earth, its rotation is slower than its journey through space, allowing observers to see an additional 8 degrees on the eastern side. When the moon is farthest, the rotation is faster, so an additional 8 degrees are visible on the western side.

Which characteristic differentiates amphibians from reptiles?
Stells [14]

Option D – amphibians may use their skin for gas exchange is the characteristic feature of amphibians that differs from reptiles.

Explanation:

The amphibian skin is moist, thin and marbled and supplied by blood vessels running on its surface. The moisture present in the skin dissolves the oxygen present in its surrounding which is absorbed by the blood vessels. Special glands help the amphibians to keep the skin moist.

The very thick and tough scales present on the reptiles prevent them to absorb oxygen through their skin. Hence, they breathe and respire through their lungs.

Amphibians have three-chambered heart. They do not develop amniotic eggs. Adult amphibians although spend much time on land, they breed only in water due to the absence of amniotic sac .

Match the vocabulary with the correct description.
Aleks [24]

Answer:

Axis - B

Rotation - E

Revolution - D

Latitude - A

Gravity - C

Explanation:

The axis is the line that a body spins on. The axis will line up with the north and south poles. For Earth, the axis is tilted, which is why seasons exist.

The definition of rotation is "the action of rotating around an axis or center." So, rotation is the spinning of a body on its axis. On Earth, one rotation is equal to one day.

Revolutions are when a body spins around another. For Earth, one revolution around the sun is one year

Latitudes are invisible lines that separate the world into degrees from North to South. They are also called parallels.

Gravity is the force that keeps things together. Large masses have gravity that attract other masses.
