Because the moon's periods of rotation on its axis and of revolution around the Earth
are equal ... 27.32 days.
-- To an observer on Earth, the moon always presents the same face.
-- To an observer on the moon, the Earth is always at nearly the same place in the sky.
. . . . . . If the observer is on the side of the moon that faces Earth, it's ALWAYS in his sky,
and he can watch the Earth rotate completely, roughly every 24 hours 50 minutes.
. . . . . . If the observer is on the side that doesn't face Earth, then it's NEVER in his sky.
The moon revolves on its axis at the same time it revolves around Earth, who is also spinning on its axis. It does this at the perfect speed so that it will always face Earth with the same side. The factors of the Earth spinning on its axis, the moon spinning on its axis, and the moon spinning around Earth all make this possible.
The Moon makes one rotation every 29.5 days. It is also the time it takes for the Moon to complete one revolution around the Earth. So, the Moon is "gravitationally locked" onto the Earth. Therefore, we only see one side of the Moon.
lol because
The low sunken surface area on the moon is the result of when the surface of the moon was once struck by a large meteorite.
gravity
The moon Io would look the brightest from the surface of Jupiter because It is the nearest.
meteorites or other objects strike the moon they creat
the surface of the moon is rocky with lots of craters it is sadly not made of cheese.
lol because
craters.

It's cloudy surface atmosphere and the craters on it look exactly like the moon.

The South Pole-Aitken basin.

50%.
Geologic features are any physical features on the surface of a planet or moon, or of the rocks exposed at the surface, by any geologic process.
