Do all earth hemispheres see the same side of the moon?
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.
What is true about the moon's orbit around Earth?
The moon's orbital period is the same as its rotational period, so the same side of the moon always faces the earth.
Your moon always shows the same face to the earth?
True.
Does the same side of Venus always face earth?
Yes. The moon is tidally locked to the earth, so that whether the moon is new, waxing, full, or waning, we always see the same side.

The astronauts on the moon were able to see the earth at all times, though not the same face of earth each time. Unlike on earth, from an observers fixed position, the moon would be in view between moon rise and moon set, only.
How long it takes for the moon to rotate once?
It rotates once in 27.32 days - the same time that it takes to orbit once around the Earth - which is why it always looks the same from Earth.
Is the moon always the same?
What on earth (or rather the moon) is that supposed to mean?!
Which occurs when the moon spins on its axis at the same rate it orbits the earth?

From the earth the moon always looks approxamitley the same size what can you conclude from this about the orbit of the moon around the earth?
Maybe it appears to be of same size to naked eyes, but actually Moon's orbit around Earth is not perfectly round but is oval or elliptical in shape. As the Moon orbits our planet, it's distance varies from about 221,000 to 252,000 miles. This 13% variation in the Moon's distance makes the Moon's apparent size in our sky vary by the same amount
How long is the period of revolution for earth's moon?
The moon doens't rotate (from earth's perspetive). We always see the same side of the moon.
