- The Moon's Orbit and Rotation
2 Δεκ 2022 · The animation shows both the orbit and the rotation of the Moon. The yellow circle with the arrow and radial line have been added to make the rotation more apparent. The arrow indicates the direction of rotation. The radial line points to the center of the visible disk of the Moon at 0°N 0°E.
Orbit paths are rendered such that the portion of the orbit above the ecliptic plane is shown with a heavy line weight and the portion below is shown with a light line weight. When zoomed in extremely close to a planet or moon, it may appear slightly off its orbit path.
A map viewer of the Moon from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera team. Quickmap is a highly customizable web-based mapping and analysis tool containing data from past and present lunar spacecraft.
The orbit of the Moon is a nearly circular ellipse about Earth (the semimajor and semiminor axes are 384,400 km and 383,800 km, respectively: a difference of only 0.16%).
The position of the small body relative to the Earth is obtained from the most precise orbit data available from the Horizons ephemeris system. The orbits of the planets and the Moon are approximations using the two-body model.
LROC QuickMap, a powerful map interface to browse Lunar data from NASA/LRO and other missions. Explore the Moon in both 2D and 3D. Developed by Applied Coherent Technology and customized for the LROC team at ASU.
