The Moon takes about 27.3 days to complete one full rotation on its axis, which is also the same amount of time it takes to orbit the Earth. This synchronous rotation means that the same side of the Moon always faces Earth. Consequently, this phenomenon is known as tidal locking.

The flag on the moon would not rotate in a full circle on its own as there is no wind or atmosphere on the moon to cause such movement. However, when astronauts planted the flag, they twisted the pole back and forth to get it into the ground, which may cause it to spin slowly due to any residual momentum.
It takes 27.3 days for the Moon to complete one full orbit around the Earth. how long does it take for the earth to rotate around the sun? It takes exactly 365 and a quarter days for the earth to orbit around the sun once.
The moon spins once on its axis every month; one sidereal period around earth is equal to one complete rotation on its axis. If the moon did not rotate, all of its surface would be visible from earth over the course of a month.
27 1/3 days.
Earth's moon does rotate on it's axis but it does it once each orbit of the Earth: every 27.3 days .
