Why you can see only one side of moon?
The moon rotates on it's axis within the same period of time the moon orbits the earth, therefore only the "near side" of the moon can be seen from Earth. Technically the moon's "year" and the moon's "day" are equal length.
Why are a day and a year on the moon the same length give short answer?
Magic.
What is the length of one year on the moon?
28 days to do a full orbit around the Earth
Why are day and a year on the moon the same length?

Why are day and year on the moon the same length?
Some basics about the movement of the moon: The moon orbits around the earth. One orbit around the earth is commonly called a lunar cycle. The word 'month' derives from the word 'moon', and refers to this lunar cycle of roughly 29 days. The moon does not orbit around the sun independent of earth. The moon does orbit around the sun, but only because the moon orbits the earth and accompanies the earth in its yearly journey around the sun. These are just the basics; we won't get into precise definitions of orbital periods, or percise lengths of time of various movements. The moon also rotates on its axis, and it completes one rotation during the course of one lunar orbit around the earth. This is because the moon's orbit around the earth is 'tidally locked' with the planet earth. Because the moon rotates one full time during the course of one lunar cycle, the lunar 'day' is the same length as a lunar cycle. What we observe as the phases of the moon really is the unfolding of one lunar day on the moon's surface. Also, the fact that one rotation on the moon's axis is equal to on lunar orbit around the earth is what causes the same face to always face earth (with some slight differences that we won't cover here). The lunar day, then, is one lunar cycle (roughly a month) long. A lunar year, if measured by the moon's orbit of the sun, is the same length as an earth year.
Why is a day in moon the same length as a year on earth?
Because the Moon Turns Slower Then The Earth.
Is a day and a year on the moon the same length?
A day on the moon is 29.5 Earth days. The moon takes 27.3 days to fully orbit the Earth. This is called a sidereal day.
Why is the day on the moon the same length as a year on the moon?
it's because the moon is tidally locked to the earth, with the near side always facing the planet the moon completes only 1 rotation for every time it goes around the earth.
Why you can see only one side of moon?
The moon rotates on it's axis within the same period of time the moon orbits the earth, therefore only the "near side" of the moon can be seen from Earth. Technically the moon's "year" and the moon's "day" are equal length.
Is the length of a year on earth the same as the length of a year on Saturn?
No, Because a year on Saturn is 10,832 days while earth's is 365.25 days.
Why is a day in the moon the same lenght as a year on earth?
It isn't. A "day on the Moon" is about 29.5 Earth days; a year is about 365 days.
How is Earth's moon different from the naturally occurring satellites of the other planets in our solar system?
Earth's moon differs in that it shows the same 'face' to earth at all times. Therefore, a lunar 'day' is the same length as a lunar 'year'. Most astrophysicists concur that the earth's moon is probably, at least, very rare in this aspect, if not, perhaps, even unique.

How are the length of the day and year related to Earth's movement through space?
WELL THE LENGTH OF THE DAY IS RELATED TO THE Rotation AND REVOLUTION OF THE PLANET BECAUSE THE PLANET HAS LENGTH BUT IT MIGHT NOT HAVE THE SAME THING AS OUR LENGTH AND IT HAS THE SAME ROTATION AND REVOLUTION.WHAT DO YOU YOUNG GUYS AND LADIES THINK ABOUT MY ANSWER ?PLEASE COMMENT ON IT I WILL APPROACHED THAT BY.
What country has the same length of daytime and length of nighttime all year?
There is no such place on Earth.
