Because the Moon Turns Slower Then The Earth.

28 days to do a full orbit around the Earth
The length of a "day" on the moon is 29 Earth days.
The moon rotates on it's axis within the same period of time the moon orbits the earth, therefore only the "near side" of the moon can be seen from Earth. Technically the moon's "year" and the moon's "day" are equal length.

The moon is a natural satellite. A meter is a measurement of length. No, the moon is not a measurement of length.
A day on the moon is 29.5 Earth days. The moon takes 27.3 days to fully orbit the Earth. This is called a sidereal day.
The length of a new moon is 4.2 cubic acres.
The length of a "day" on the moon is 29 Earth days.
the length of the moon's rotation is 27.3 days (about 1 month)

Because that is not the length of the year. The length of the year is 365.2422 days.Because that is not the length of the year.

it's because the moon is tidally locked to the earth, with the near side always facing the planet the moon completes only 1 rotation for every time it goes around the earth.
