15 days one side 15 days other
No it's always the same face. Because the moon spins on its axis exactly once per its orbit of the earth. It's a tidal friction effect. In zillions of year's time the same face of the earth will always face the moon also.
The same side of the moon always faces the earth because of a phenomenon called tidal locking, where the moon's rotation period is the same as its orbit around the earth. This causes one side of the moon to always be facing towards the earth.
What on earth (or rather the moon) is that supposed to mean?!
The same side of the moon always faces the Earth
As long as you're on Earth, you will always see the same side of the moon. This is because the moon is tidally locked with the earth, meaning is rotational period is the same as its revolutionary period. This allows us to always see the same side of the moon, no matter where on earth we are.
The answer is yes. We always see the same side of the moon from the Earth because the time it takes the moon to circle the Sun is the same as the time it takes to circle itself.
The moon rotates and revolves at the same rate
The Earth.
The same side of the moon always faces Earth because of a phenomenon called synchronous rotation. This means that the moon's rotation period is the same as its orbital period around Earth, causing one side to always be facing us.

Yes, it rotates at the same rate it orbits the Earth.
Because the moon turns as it goes around the Earth.
