Most will say it has (mass*velocity^2)/2 but this is wrong. Despite the overwhelming response that i may receive here saying I am wrong, the truth is that the moon as ZERO rotational energy.
The moon has either never spun around itself, meaning the moon was thrown off (originating) from earth, or the moon did rotate long ago and has since been completely despun by the popular tidal braking theory. Those saying that the moon rotates at a period equal to its orbital period are mistaken, That is merely an illusion of rotation created by the curvature of space time by gravity in a orbital revolution.

The imaginary line that the moon rotates on is called its axis.
The moon rotates on its own geometrical axis. It revolves around the Earth.
The moon rotates about its axis once per 27.3 days, which is the same amount of time it takes to complete one orbit around Earth. This is why we only see one side of the moon from Earth.
The moon rotates around the earth at the same rate that it rotates around it's own axis. This means that from earth it is only possible to see one side of the moon. That is why the moon rover expeditions were so intriguing to scientists.
The moon rotates counterclockwise just like Earth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The moon rotates in space. As for HOW the moon rotates, it rotates about it's own axis and revolves around the Earth. As for WHY, it is due to the conservation of angular momentum.
By definition, every object rotates a full 360 degrees about it's own axis, including the moon.
The imaginary line that the moon rotates on is called its axis.
Because it rotates around its own axis at the same rate as it rotates around the Earth.
the moon is spinning around us very slowly
No. The Moon rotates around its own axis as it revoles around Earth.
Because the moon rotates in its axis
The moon rotates on its own geometrical axis. It revolves around the Earth.
Moon moves around the planet Earth in an orbit and rotates on its own axis. It takes moon around 28 days to move around the planet Earth. Normally, the moon takes around 27 days to rotate on its axis.
Actually all moves. The sun rotates on its axis. The earth rotates on its axis and revolves around the Sun. The moon revolves around the earth
The earth's moon rotates on its axis in exactly the same period of time required for it to revolve around the earth once in its orbit ... 27.32 days.
The moon rotates about its axis once per 27.3 days, which is the same amount of time it takes to complete one orbit around Earth. This is why we only see one side of the moon from Earth.
