This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Orbit of Moon, Moon's Orbital Plane has Inclination of 5.1 degrees, Orbit of Moon about Earth his at Mean Distance from Earth of 385,000 km (1.255 sec One Way Light Time) Perigee: 364,000 km Apogee: 407,000 km, Synchronous Rotation with respect to Earth means Same Face is Always Pointed toward Earth, 29.5 Days To Reach the Same Phase (e.g. Full Moon) is Synodic Month, Periodicity is 29.5 Days To Reach the Same Phase (e.g. Full Moon), Orbit of Moon about Earth has Periodicity, Spin Axis of Moon has Inclination of 1.5 degrees, Synchronous Rotation with respect to Earth is result of Internal Friction resulting from Solid Body Tides Caused by Earth's Gravity, Orbit of Moon about Earth is Ellipse of 0.055 Eccentricity, Orbit of Moon about Earth is in Synchronous Rotation with respect to Earth, Synodic Month differ because of Orbital Motion of Earth & Moon about Sun, Plane of the Ecliptic is Plane in which Earth orbits the Sun, Moon's Orbital Plane is NOT same as Earth's Equatorial Plane, Inclination of 5.1 degrees is relative to Plane of the Ecliptic, Inclination of 1.5 degrees is relative to Moon's Orbital Plane, Periodicity is 27.3 Days As Measured Relative to Stars, Internal Friction resulting from Solid Body Tides Caused by Earth's Gravity has led to Moon's Non-Spherical Shape, Orbit of Moon about Earth takes place in Moon's Orbital Plane, 27.3 Days As Measured Relative to Stars is Sidereal Month, Sidereal Month differ because of Orbital Motion of Earth & Moon about Sun
