Where does the moon rotate?
The moon rotates in space. As for HOW the moon rotates, it rotates about it's own axis and revolves around the Earth. As for WHY, it is due to the conservation of angular momentum.
Does the moon have an axis?
Yes, but not in the ordinary sense. The moon is gravitationally locked to the Earth, meaning it doesn't rotate independently along an imaginary line passing through its poles. As the Earth both rotates on its own axis and revolves around the Sun, the moon's orientation along that imaginary line changes with respect to the ecliptic every 27.3 days, so the moon can be said to rotate on that axis.
Motions of the moon?
Moon moves around the planet Earth in an orbit and rotates on its own axis. It takes moon around 28 days to move around the planet Earth. Normally, the moon takes around 27 days to rotate on its axis.
