Rotation period of Charon (which is the same as its orbital period, due to “tidal locking”)

Verify size of Charon in relation to Pluto

Lunar Node revolution period

(B). The Lunar Perigeal Revolution Period = 3231.492837 Earth days.

Binary planet Pluto/Charon consists of Pluto and Charon. It is considered to be a binary planet because Charon has the largest size of any satellite (IN RELATION TO ITS PARENT PLANET) in The Solar System. Pluto rotation period = 6.387230 Earth days, and Charon rotation period = 6.387230 Earth days.

(3231.492837 ÷ 6.387230) + (3231.492837 ÷ 6.387230) = 1011.8605 rotations.

0.8605 x 360 = 309.8 degrees.

That is 1011 complete rotations + 309.8 degrees.

Lunar Perigeal Revolution Period

(C). The Lunar Synodic Revolution Period = 29.5305882 Earth days.

Binary planet Pluto/Charon consists of Pluto and Charon. It is considered to be a binary planet because Charon has the largest size of any satellite (IN RELATION TO ITS PARENT PLANET) in The Solar System. Pluto rotation period = 6.387230 Earth days, and Charon rotation period = 6.387230 Earth days.

(29.5305882 ÷ 6.387230) + (29.5305882 ÷ 6.387230) = 9.2468 rotations.

0.2468 x 360 = 88.8 degrees.

That is 9 complete rotations + 88.8 degrees.

(D). The (Lunar) Anomalistic Month = 27.5545505 Earth days.

Binary planet Pluto/Charon consists of Pluto and Charon. It is considered to be a binary planet because Charon has the largest size of any satellite (IN RELATION TO ITS PARENT PLANET) in The Solar System. Pluto rotation period = 6.387230 Earth days, and Charon rotation period = 6.387230 Earth days.

(27.5545505 ÷ 6.387230) + (27.5545505 ÷ 6.387230) = 8.6280 rotations.

0.6280 x 360 = 226.1 degrees.

That is 8 complete rotations + 226.1 degrees.

(E). The (Lunar) Nodical Month = 27.212220 Earth days.

Binary planet Pluto/Charon consists of Pluto and Charon. It is considered to be a binary planet because Charon has the largest size of any satellite (IN RELATION TO ITS PARENT PLANET) in The Solar System. Pluto rotation period = 6.387230 Earth days, and Charon rotation period = 6.387230 Earth days.

(27.212220 ÷ 6.387230) + (27.212220 ÷ 6.387230) = 8.5208 rotations.

0.5208 x 360 = 187.5 degrees.

That is 8 complete rotations + 187.5 degrees.

(F). The Lunar Node Revolution Period = 6798.375113 Earth days.

Pluto’s orbital period = 90803.66 Earth days.

(90803.66 ÷ 6798.375113) = 13.3567 revolutions.

0.3567 x 360 = 128.4 degrees.

That is 13 complete revolutions + 128.4 degrees.

(G). The Moon’ Orbital Period = 27.321661 Earth days.

Pluto’s orbital period = 90803.66 Earth days.

(90803.66 ÷ 27.321661) = 3323.5044 revolutions.

0.5044 x 360 = 181.6 degrees.

That is 3323 complete revolutions + 181.6 degrees.

(H). The Lunar Node Revolution Period = 6798.375113 Earth days.

The Lunar Perigeal Revolution Period = 3231.492837 Earth days.

The Lunar Node and the Lunar Perigee revolve in opposite directions.

Pluto’s orbital period = 90803.66 Earth days.

(90803.66 ÷ 3231.492837) MINUS (90803.66 ÷ 6798.375113) = 14.7429 revolutions

0.7429 x 360 = 267.5 degrees.

That is 14 complete revolutions + 267.5 degrees.
