Question

Does the moon spin faster than the earth

Open in App
Solution

No! The Earth and Moon travel around the Sun at the same speed.
The Earth doesn't spin that fast. It takes 24 hrs for it to do one rotation. Look at the hour hand of a running clock; does it look blurred? Of course not, and it spins at twice the rate the Earth does.
