What are some facts about the crescent moon?
The crescent moon is no different than the regular moon itself. It is just a phase. The reason we see it this way is because a moon year and a moon day is the same number of earth hours, so we see the same side of the moon year around.
It takes the moon 27.32 days to orbit the earth it also takes the moon 27.32 days to rotate one time on it axis This explains why.?
This explains why we always see the same "Man in the Moon" face; we're always seeing the same side of the Moon.
What would be the result of the moon not having different moon phases?
Well, there wouldn't be moon calendars which we're inspired by Islam.

The moon does not rotate so on Earth we always see the same side no matter where the observer is.
Why is one face of the moon always seen?
This is because the moon's rotation on its own axis exactly matches its rotation around the earth, meaning the same face of the moon is always facing the earth
Why do astronomers on earth always see the same side of the moon?
15 days one side 15 days other No it's always the same face. Because the moon spins on its axis exactly once per its orbit of the earth. It's a tidal friction effect. In zillions of year's time the same face of the earth will always face the moon also.

Is the moon always the shape of a circle?
The moon is a sphere. It is illuminated in our night sky when the sun shines on it. The sun always illuminates the same side of the moon. The moon's apparent shape - the shape we see - the part which is illuminated ranges from a left-facing thin crescent to a full circle to a right-facing thin crescent. This is because, due to the rotation of the earth, we are not always facing head-on to the side which is illuminated.

The moon rotates in the same direction as its orbit. The rate of rotation is such that the same face is always pointing at the earth.
