  • Does the moon rotate around? Or is it just in orbit always facing the same side?

  • Muy buen video gracias por haberlo subido.

  • This is clearly wrong because the earth is fixed in this system, the reality is the earth AND moon orbit the sun together as a system, so the earth wobbles around orbit of the sun by the gravity of earth and moon system, moving around some 3000 miles either side of the orbit.

  • dude...talk

    

  • @ajhomryder how can you tell? did you measure it out? it could be eliptical

  • @totzstangolo So why does this show the moon going round in a true circle?

  • @MrJasonSmarts Yeah this just seems to show the moon going round in a circle...

  • @ajhomryder you couldn't tell a circle from an orbital elipse, even if they were drawn in front of you on a piece of paper. the angles are too little

  • @ajhomryder Correct, the moon has an oval-like orbit.

  • This is very wrong, scientists have proven the moon has an elliptical orbit of our planet, which means when it is closer to us, it causes more earthquakes on our planets surface. So far everything I have seen on here, shows the planet going round in a circle. This does not happen people...
