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.
