Best Answer

Because the moon takes the same time to rotate once on its axis - as it does to go around the earth. Therefore we see the same side of the moon every time.

Why is the moon so high in the sky?

The moon appears high in the sky because the moon is in space. We are on earth.We are on the ground and the moon is in the sky. The moon appears to be highest in the sky in the tropical regions of the world, just like the sun - since the moon's orbit is almost perpendicular to the tropics.At higher latitudes, the moon will appear lower in the sky for the same reason as the sun is.
