The Sun
If rotation did not happen one side the earth would stay cold. It would also always be dark outside.
Since the moon always has the same side facing earth -- has always been so, I guess? -- one rotation is equal to one revolution around the earth, so about 28 earth days.
The moon is always out, it's just that you can't always see it because of the rotation of the earth.
The moon rotates at a rate that matches its revolution around the earth since it has one face always toward the earth. So the moon's rotation is approximately 28 days, while the earth's is only 24 hours. Hence the moon's rotation is longer.
The moon's rotation is not as fast as the Earth's rotation.

This is because the moon's rotation on its own axis exactly matches its rotation around the earth, meaning the same face of the moon is always facing the earth

—The Earth rotates on an axis, making one full rotation every 24 hours. Different sides of the Earth are exposed to the sun during the course of these 24 hours, with half of the planet being exposed to sun while the other half is deprived of light. It is this rotation that causes day and night.
The Moon always keeps the same side facing Earth so its rotation period is the same as its period of revolution around the Earth. These periods are both about 27.3 Earth days.

The moon's rotation is not as fast as the Earth's rotation.
The rotation of the earth enables most part of the earth to experience darkness or nighttime. Earth’s rotation occurs from west to east, which is why the Sun always appears to be rising on the eastern horizon and setting on the western.
The moon rotates at a rate that matches its revolution around the earth since it has one face always toward the earth. So the moon's rotation is approximately 28 days, while the earth's is only 24 hours. Hence the moon's rotation is longer.
