Do any moons spin while orbiting their home planet?

Yes, every moon spins on it's axis while it orbits. The Moon which orbits Earth spins, but because it is orbiting us at the same time we can only ever see on face of the moon. That's why there is the Dark Side of The Moon. I think you can see roughly 50.8% of the Moon's Surface on Earth.

This let him think that the Earth was orbiting the sun as well. His theory here, however, argued against Ptolemic's model thinking that the Earth was the center.
