If the Moon takes 27.3 days to complete one 360° orbit around the Earth, how many degrees per day does the Moon mover across Earth's sky?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Moon moves across the Earth's sky per day = 13.2°

Explanation:

Given:

Moon take to complete one orbit around the earth = 27.3 days

earth orbit = 360°

We need to find the degrees per day does the Moon move across Earth's sky.

Solution:

Moon takes 27.3 days to complete one 360° orbit around the Earth.

So, the degrees per day is equal to 360° divided by moon take to complete one orbit around the earth.

\[tex]Degree\ per\ day = \frac{360}{27.3}[/tex]

Degree per day = 13.2°

Therefore, moon moves 13.2° across the Earth's sky each day.
