What are the chances of the moon rotating equal to its orbit around earth?

It is not a matter of chance it is a matter of physics. The moon is tidally locked with the earth. All this takes are the effects of gravity and time.

Why are days and nights not equal on the earth?
because earth is rotating and revolving
What is equal heating?
the cause of earth rotating on it`s axis
Is the moon rotating?
Yes, it rotates on an axis just like Earth. Its rotation time is equal to its orbit time.
When you jump on the ground the Earth exerts a greater force back up on you because it is so massive.?
The force that you exert on the Earth is equal to the force that the Earth exerts on you; for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, so says Newton. What is different is the amount of motion that results. You move, and the Earth (apparently) does not. Actually the Earth is moving all the time, in its orbit around the sun and by rotating on its axis, but it does not noticeably move because you jump on the ground. And that is indeed because it is much more massive than you are. False.

On which planet does one year equal 84 Earth years?
There is no planet whose rotation is exactly one earth year. The planet Venus comes the closest to rotating once every time the earth goes around the sun. The planet mars comes the closets to going around the sun once every time Earth does.
Why do people not fly off the surface of the rotating earth into space?
Because the gravitational force between the earth and each person is sufficient centripetal force to maintain circular motion with a radius equal to the Earth's equatorial radius and angular velocity of (pi/12) radians per hour.
The moons revolution around the earth is equal to how long?
29.5 days.
Does the earth go around the sun in hours years atmosphere or constellation?
The Earth goes around the Sun once in one year, which is approximately equal to 365.24 days.
When the earth makes a complete orbit around the sun it has made a?
The time it takes the Earth to travel around the Sun once is called one year. This is equal to 365.24 days.
Why is a day on the moon equal to a month on earth?
It really does not, but it is close to a month. The moon always faces the same way to the earth as it goes around the earth. So the Moon day is the same as its orbit around the Earth, Roughly 29 days.
Work and energy in rotational motion?
There is energy in a rotating mass. Work equal to that energy has to be done on it to get it rotating. But it will keep on rotating without any additional work or energy, unless it is slowed down by friction, or other forces.
