No. Earth rotates every 24 hours. The moon rotates at a much slower rate, taking about 29.5 of our days, which is about the same time it takes to orbit Earth. Because of this, we always see the same side of the moon facing Earth. We can see a bit more than 50% in reality.

How is the Moon's rotation different from Earth's?
The moon's rotation is not as fast as the Earth's rotation.
What happen once every 24 hours the earth rotation or the moon rotation?
The earth rotation
What is the one rotation on the Moon's axis?
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.
Does the moon rotate right or left?
The moon rotates in the same direction as the earth, counterclockwise (anticlockwise) when viewed from above the north pole. One rotation of the moon takes the same time as one revolution around the earth, so the same side of the moon is always facing the earth.
Why do all places on Earth have the same moon phases on the same day?
All places have the same moon phase because the moon takes 27 days to revolve around the Earth and the Earth takes 24 hours to rotate. The speed of rotation is faster than the moon's revolution making the moon appear unmoving and all parts of Earth having the same moon phase.
How is the Moon's rotation different from Earth's?
The moon's rotation is not as fast as the Earth's rotation.
What is the moon rotation and revolution?
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.
When is the complete rotation of the moon?
The moon is tidally locked to the earth, so it's rotation and revolution are the same. About 29 days.
How is rotation and revaluation the same?
It's not the same Revoluation is when the earth rotates and the sun rotates around the earth and then the moon moves with it. Rotation is when just the earth moves.
Does the moon have historical impact on the earth?
The moon's rotation is not as fast as the Earth's rotation.
Why is one face of the moon always seen?
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
What two factors determine when tides occur?
The rotation of the Earth and the moon
Does moon have effect on Earth's rotation?
yes; without the moon earth's rotation would be wobbly and disorganized.
What is the effect of the rotation of both the earth and its moon?
the rotation of earth changes days moon is a permanent body
Does the moon have a 365-degree rotation?
No, because it revolves around the Earth, always facing the Earth, through a 360 degree arc. On the Moon it would look like the Earth is orbiting the Moon, but if you ignored that, you would see the stars look like they rotate "around" the Moon the same way they do for the Earth. The timing of the rotation of the Earth and the rotation of the Moon are not a factor because both make their 360 degree rotation at their own pace, regardless of the other's period.
How will the Earth rotate without moon?
The Earth's rotation is not dependent on the Moon; without the Moon, the Earth would still rotate. However, the Moon's gravitation gradually slows down Earth's rotation, so without the Moon, it is possible that Earth would now be rotating faster.The Earth's rotation is not dependent on the Moon; without the Moon, the Earth would still rotate.

How long is the moon's rotation?
The rotation of the moon, or the time it takes to rotate on it's axis exactly once, is 27.322 days (rounded), and the moon's orbital period, or the time the moon takes to complete one full revolution around the Earth, is exactly the same. That's why the Moon appears to always show the same face. We see the same side of the moon and never get to view the far side from Earth.
