For example, when the Moon is opposite to the Sun, it is full moon; when it is in the same direction as the Sun, it is new moon.

If moon has static rotation then how gravity is produced on moon?
Gravity is caused by mass, it is unrelated to rotation.
Where on the moon gets the most sunlight yearly?
The Moon's equator; on average, the Sun will be at a higher angle there.The Moon's equator; on average, the Sun will be at a higher angle there.The Moon's equator; on average, the Sun will be at a higher angle there.The Moon's equator; on average, the Sun will be at a higher angle there.
Why do you have half and full moon?
Due to the phases of the moon and rotation of the Earth.
What real motion of the moon causes the pattern of moon phases?
the rotation of the moon causes the pattern of the moon phase.
How are the tides dependent on the moon?
The tides are dependent on the earth's moon because the moon's gravitational pull brings the waves from high tide to low tide. Without the moon, waves would not exist.
How will the Earth rotate without moon?
The Earth's rotation is not dependent on the Moon; without the Moon, the Earth would still rotate. However, the Moon's gravitation gradually slows down Earth's rotation, so without the Moon, it is possible that Earth would now be rotating faster.The Earth's rotation is not dependent on the Moon; without the Moon, the Earth would still rotate.

Does it take longer for 1 rotation of the moon or earth?
The moon rotates at a rate that matches its revolution around the earth since it has one face always toward the earth. So the moon's rotation is approximately 28 days, while the earth's is only 24 hours. Hence the moon's rotation is longer.
How does the Moon's rotation physically affect the Earth?
The moon's rotation has no affect on the earth because the moon always faces its "near" side toward the earth. In the far distant past, the effect of the earth's presence slowed the moon's rotation until the present state was reached. The moon likewise slows the earth's rotation, but only by a tiny bit each century because the moon is so much smaller than the earth.
How is the Moon's rotation different from Earth's?
The moon's rotation is not as fast as the Earth's rotation.
What causes synchronous rotation?
This is the answer------ A massive planet exerts a tidal force on a moon that causes the moon to align itself such that its tidal bulges always point toward and away from the planet.
What is the Moon's period or rotation?
The Moon always keeps the same side toward the Earth. So, the Moon rotates once per orbit around the Earth. The time taken for the Moon to rotate once is about 27.32 Earth days.
Moon in rotation?
the length of the moon's rotation is 27.3 days (about 1 month)
Does the moon have historical impact on the earth?
The moon's rotation is not as fast as the Earth's rotation.
How many times does the moon spin around the earth in a full rotation?
a more accurate answer is The moon circles the Earth once for every time the moon spins on its axis so the same side is always toward the Earth.
Is there a relationship between the phase of the moon such as full or quarter and how high the moon is in the sky?
No. The Moons phases are determined by the relative angles between the Sun, Earth and Moon. The changing position of the moon in the sky is because of the Earth's rotation, so is dependent on the time of day.
The rotation of the moon gives us night and darkness?
No. The rotation of the moon has no influence on daylight or darkness. It's the rotation of the earth that does it.
The rotation of Ganymede?
It is in synchronous rotation, like our Moon.
