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.

Why does the moon not rotate as does the earth?
The moon does rotate on its axis as the earth does. The earth rotates once in a day and the moon rotates once in a month ( for those who want to quibble, it's a little more than 27 days ). ADD---the moon rotate at the same speed of the earth, that why we always see the same side of the moon which give the impresion that the moon doesnt rotate but it does!
How many days does moon takes to rotate earth?
Moon takes 27 days to rotate earth for one cycle.
Does the earth and the moon revolve and rotate differently?
because or the gravity of the moon and earth
How would the moon appear to an observe on earth if the moon did not rotate?
it would still appear to rotate
How would the moon appear to an observer on earth if the moon did not rotate?
it would still appear to rotate
What if the moon did not rotate around earth?
If the moon didn't rotate around the Earth, it would be to dark to see at night and eclipses would not exist!
Does The moon causes the earth to rotate?
False
How does the moon rotate with the earth?
gravity gravity
Why does the moon has a different appearance?
earth rotate
Does the moon and earth rotate?
Yes. Both rotate or "scientifically" orbit.The Moon orbits The Earth and The Earth orbits The Sun. While orbiting The Earth The Moon also turns on its axis. While orbiting The Sun The Earth also turns on its axis.
How long it does take the moon to rotate?
Earth's moon does rotate on it's axis but it does it once each orbit of the Earth: every 27.3 days .
Can you exist without the moon?
yes and no because the moon gives light at night to help you see but then again it does nothing another than rotate around the Earth.
