If you stopped the Earth from moving, and the Earth were fixed, which is what we're talking about, the Moon would not show all its sides.
Quoting: mclarek 971744That's NOT what he asked. Again, if the moon were to suddenly stop orbiting the earth and stayed over one location on the earth, what would we see and why? There are 2 movements going on in this system: the Earth's rotation about its own axis AND the Moon's rotation about the Earth's axis, at different rates, by the way.
But the MOON IS NOT SPINNING!
Second, if you DID suspend the Moon, the point would be fixed and in fact we'd leave it behind as we, with our spin about ourself, moved on on our forward, orbital path (a dual motion).
The Moon has no such dual motion of spin and orbital forward momentum on the circular path.
Quoting: mclarek 971744Yes, it does. All motions are independent and can and are analyzed as such, as I explained in an earlier post. The rotation of the moon ON ITS AXIS is superimposed onto it's orbital motion around the earth. That is a simple fact and no amount of arm-waving by you can change that. If the Moon were spinning on its axis as it moved forward on its spin around the Earth's axis, the Sun would "see" (or shed light on) the faces of the Moon more quickly than the mere orbit currently does.
Quoting: mclarek 971744It DOES. That is why the sidereal period of the moon is 27.32 days while the synodic period is 29.53 days. [ link to www.moonconnection.com]
