Question

The moon takes 27 days to go around the earth and 27 days to rotate on its axis. Because the rotation and the revolution are exactly the same, what phenomenon does this explain?

A. Tides
B. Solar eclipses
C. Lunar eclipses
D. Earth's seasons

Answer 1

The moon's revolution and rotation taking the same amount of time explains lunar eclipses.

Step-by-step explanation:

The phenomenon that is explained by the moon's revolution and rotation taking the same amount of time is C. Lunar eclipses. A lunar eclipse occurs when Earth passes between the sun and the moon, causing the moon to move into Earth's shadow. The alignment of the sun, Earth, and moon must be precise for a lunar eclipse to happen, and the fact that the moon takes the same amount of time to complete its revolution and rotation helps create this alignment. So the correct option is C. Lunar Eclipses.
