How many times does the moon rotate on its axis before it fully orbits around the earth?

During one trip around the Earth, the moon rotates one time, because its rotation and revolution are about the same. That is why we only see one side of the moon (the near side) and never the far side.

What happens if earth stops to rotate around sun?
Earth doesn't "rotate" around the Sun - it rotates around its own axis. It orbits the Sun.If Earth stopped moving (at around 30 km/second) around the Sun, the Sun's gravity would pull Earth toward the Sun, where it would perish within a few months.
Is the earth's rotation is when the earth orbits around the sun?
No, the earth's orbit around the sun is its revolution ( 1 degree per day ) Earth's rotation is on its own axis ( 15 degrees per hour) We ROTATE and REVOLVE at THE SAME TIME!!!
