One side of the moon always faces the Earth, so it's rotation in space is the same as the lunar month, approximately 29 days
Rotation and Revolution.
It is called synchronous rotation when the rotation and orbit take the same amount of time.
They are precisely equal.
you use the moons movement and phases to tell time because of the seasons, rotation, and revolution
Orbit is a curved or spherical path of celestial objects such as stars, moons, and planets. Other words meaning the same as orbit are revolution, rotation, course, track, circle, or trajectory.
revolution-is the revolving of an object around another object. rotation-is the spinning of an object on its axis. revolution and rotation are two different concepts but, are alike in some way. Rotation- Dominic
The moon's revolution is equal to its period of rotation. This means that we see the same side of the moon every day. Also, the moons position compared to the position of the sun makes the phases of the moon.
Most of the large moons in our solar system rotate so that they always show the same side to the planet. This is caused by "tidal forces". The tides have slowed the moons' rotations down until their rotation periods equal their orbital periods. The moons also slow down the planets; our planet is rotating slower and slower. Once again, this affects the rotation. However, since angular momentum MUST be conserved, the Moon also gets farther and farther from our planet, thus affecting its revolution around Earth.
Due to Earth's rotation.

Revolution and rotation
Rotation is spinning on an object's axis. Revolution is orbiting around an external axis.
