Because it rotates around its own axis at the same rate as it rotates around the Earth.
It is just one of those strange coincidences that the Moon takes the same amount of time to rotate as it does to orbit us, which is why you see the same face all the time. In fact we can see more than half of it, but there is a lot of the moon we never get to see.
The Moon will drift farther and farther from Earth, while Earth slows down, until Earth always shows the Moon the same face (just as the Moon already shows Earth the same face all the time). It doesn't seem that the Moon will completely escape from Earth's gravity.
Just as about as 'strange' as it gets: the Time that the Moon takes to REVOLVE [around the Earth's axis][ one month ] is the same amount of Time that It takes to ROTATE [around its own axis]. This does result in the same face-of-the-Moon facing Us at all times.
The moon does not rotate so on Earth we always see the same side no matter where the observer is.
The moon's orbital speed around the Earth is about 1.02 Km/s. Think carefully about the question. Orbiting is a motion, so the moon cannot possibly be still while it orbits. Perhaps you are wondering about the moon spinning on its axis. It is easy to see that some people might think that the moon does not spin on its axis, since the same face orients toward earth all the time. However, the moon does have to spin on its axis, one time for every orbit. This is why the same face orients toward earth all the time.
Only the ones that went around the moon actually have seen it. No one else can see it because the same face is shown to the Earth all the time.
because of the rotation of the moon. it rotates around the earth, so part of the time we can not notice all of the moon
Yes, the moon turns. The moon rotates once on its axis during one revolution around the earth. If it did not rotate, then we would be able to see the entire surface of the moon from earth. The moon is 'tidally locked' with the earth, which is why its period of rotation is the same as its period of revolution.
all of them form at the same time
all of them form at the same time
The Moon rotates and revolves in exactly the same time because the same face faces the Earth at all times. The time it takes is 27 days 7 hours 43 minutes
We only see one part of the Moon form the Earth because the Moon's orbit is tidally locked to the Earth. This means that the Moon rotates on its axis in exactly the same time as it takes for it to make one orbit round the Earth. This cause the same face of the Moon to be presented to us at all times.
