because it is just there
As long as you're on Earth, you will always see the same side of the moon. This is because the moon is tidally locked with the earth, meaning is rotational period is the same as its revolutionary period. This allows us to always see the same side of the moon, no matter where on earth we are.
You always see the same side - as the moon takes the same time to orbit the earth as it does to rotate once on its axis !
It is because the moon takes the same time to rotate as it does to orbit the earth, meaning we always see the same side of it. In truth we can see a little over half of the moon throughout its rotation, but never the far side of the moon.

From earth we see the same side of the moon but depending on the position of the moon, earth, sun we see different portions of the moon- these are known as the phases of the moon.
The moon rotates and revolves at the same rate
Yes. Because of its locked orbit, the same side of the moon always faces the Earth.
Because the moon turns as it goes around the Earth.
Because the moon turns as it goes around the Earth.
The moon spins at the same speed that it orbits the earth so we always see the same side.
Everyone on earth sees the same face of the moon.
The Moon is "tidally locked" to the Earth, so it spins at the same speed as it orbits the Earth - once per 27 days. So we always see the same side of the Moon - the "near side".
