What else can I help you with?
When you watch the sun rise and set you actually see earth revolution around the moon?
You see Earth's revolution around the sun.. the moon revolves around the Earth, not the other way around.
Does moon revolves or rotate around earth?
The Moon both revolves (orbits) around the Earth and rotates on its axis. It takes about 27.3 days for the Moon to make one orbit around the Earth and also about the same amount of time (27.3 days) for it to complete one rotation on its axis. This synchronous rotation is why we always see the same side of the Moon facing Earth.
How long it does the moon to rotate?
The moon rotates on it's axis as it revolves around the Earth, taking 29.5 days. This is why we can never see the 'back' of the moon from Earth.
What does the moon revolve around the?
The big one you can see in the sky with the naked eye revolves around the planet Earth.
Does the moon rotate on its axis each time it revolves around the earth?
Yes, but the Moon rotates at almost the same speed as it revolves around the Earth so we see only one side, (actually slightly more than half of our natural satellite).
You only see one side of the earth because?
I think you meant moon. Its because the moon rotaes at the same speed it revolves around earth. So you can only see one side of it from earth.
Does the moon always presents the same side to the Earth but someone on the moon could see the earth revolving once in every?
Yes. The moon only revolves without rotating while the Earth revolves and rotates... Moon moves around the Earth, but not on its own axis. Earth spins on its axis and moves around the sun. Since they go at different speeds, someone on the moon would essentially be able to see all of the Earth (if they were up there long enough).
What causes the phrase of the moon?
Several factors cause the phases of the moon. The "light" side of the moon is light because light from the sun reflects off of it. (Interestingly enough, because of the way the moon revolves on its axis and revolves around the earth, the same side is light at all times.) The side that faces the sun is always light. As the moon revolves around the earth, the angle at which we see the moon changes, so we see different parts of the moon. This causes phases.

Is the fact that we see only one side of the moon evidence that the moon spins or that it doesn't spin?
Since the Moon also revolves around Earth, it is evidence that the Moon rotates.
Why can't you see the moon at the sometime in the same place everyday?
It is because that the Moon rotates and revolves around the earth due to wich it changes position.
The moon has phases too Why doesn't that make us think the moon revolves around the sun too rather than around Earth?
To see all the phases of Venus is impossible in the Earth-centred model of the Solar System. The case of the Moon is different. Simple geometry shows how you can see all the phases if it revolves around the Earth. If the Moon's phases were caused by it orbiting the Sun, then the Moon would have to be millions of miles from Earth. We know the distance to the Moon very accurately and it's obviously orbiting the Earth. But, of course, the Moon does go round the Sun too, along with Earth, during the year. I hope that's clear.
