Answer:
The Moon orbits Earth once every 27.3 days and spins on its axis once every 27.3 days. This means that although the Moon is rotating, it always keeps one face toward us. Known as “synchronous rotation,” this is why we only ever see the Moon's nearside from Earth.

Answer:
The moon moves around the earth in about 27 days and it takes the same time to complete one spin on its axis. This is why we can see only one side of the moon always.
