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.

Is the moon rotating?

Yes, the moon is rotating on its axis, but it rotates at the same rate it orbits the Earth, so the same side always faces us, creating the illusion of it not rotating. This is known as synchronous rotation.


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.

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 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.


Does the force of earth's gravity keep earth in its orbit around the sun?

You're half-way there. The mutual, equal gravitational forces between the Earth and Sun maintain the Earth's stable, closed, elliptical orbit around the Earth/Sun common center of mass.
