The Moon orbits the Earth once ev%ery 28 to 29 (Earth) days.

However, it rotates on its own axis also once every 28 Earth days. So such is its rotational and orbital atitude, on Earth we only ever see approximately 60% of the Moon's surface.

It was only when we sent space ships around the Moon that mankind saw the remaining 40% of the Moon's surface for the first time in history.
