The MOON rotates on its own axis. It is a very slow rotation compared to the Earth. It rotates on its own axis about every 28 days. It also revolves (Orbits) the Earth every 28/29 days. Consequently we only see approxiamtely 60% of the Moon's surface from Earth. It was only when spaceships were launchedto the Moon, that we saw the 'Far side of the Moon' for the first time in history.
Like the Earth's orbital track about the Sun, the Moon's orbital track about the Earth is an ellipse. So sometimes it is nearer Earth and sometimes further away. The Earth lies at one of the foci (NOT the centre), of this orbit.
Remember all astronomic bodies stars, moons, planets (Earth included), ROTATE on their own AXIS. They REVOLVE(Orbit) about other objects e.g. Suns.
What else can I help you with?
When does the moon rotate around the sun?
All the time. (The moon is actually orbiting around the Earth, which is orbiting around the sun)
Does the moon rotate around the planets?
Yes. Each moon revolves around its own planet. Our Moon revolves around Earth.
What do moons rotate on?
The moon rotates on its own geometrical axis. It revolves around the Earth.
Why does the moon not rotate as does the earth?
The moon does rotate on its axis as the earth does. The earth rotates once in a day and the moon rotates once in a month ( for those who want to quibble, it's a little more than 27 days ). ADD---the moon rotate at the same speed of the earth, that why we always see the same side of the moon which give the impresion that the moon doesnt rotate but it does!
In which direction does the moon rotate around Earth?
The moon revolves from west to east, completing an entire revolution in 27.32 days.
When does the moon rotate around the sun?
All the time. (The moon is actually orbiting around the Earth, which is orbiting around the sun)
Does the moon Luna rotate around the earth as it revolves around it?
No. The Moon rotates around its own axis as it revoles around Earth.
Does the moon rotate around a larger object?
yes. the earth
How do the moon moves?
Rotate is does around Earth gravitational pull.
What if the moon did not rotate around earth?
If the moon did not rotate around Earth, it would likely drift away from our planet due to gravitational forces. This rotation is what keeps the moon in a stable orbit around Earth. Without it, the moon's position relative to Earth would change, potentially leading to significant disruptions in our planet's tides and climate.
Does the moon rotate around the earth while the earth is orbiting around the sun?
Yep, you got it.
Does the moon rotate around the planets?
Yes. Each moon revolves around its own planet. Our Moon revolves around Earth.
Do the Earth and Moon rotate?
Both bodies rotate about their axises and revolve around a larger body.
How long does it take or the moon to rotate around the earth?
27.3 Days
When do you have a lunar eclipse?
when eath come in between the sun and moon lunar eclipse take place.As we know that moon revolves and rotate around the earth and earth revoles and rotate around the sun,sometimes the earth come between earth and sun while revolving around the sun and moon goes to back side of earth while rotating around the earth............

Does the moon rotate on its axis twice each time it revolves around earth?
No. The moon rotates once for every orbit it makes around Earth.
