Why is the moon spinning around the Earth and not any other planet?
The gravity of the earth is pulling it into orbit.
What keeps the Moon in rotation?
Bodies spin through momentum; nothing's stopping them from spinning so they keep on spinning. The moon have a complication, because it's orbiting the Earth they have become tidally locked; so the Moon's rotation period is that same as the time to orbit the Earth.
The nearly perfect spherical shape of the moon is an indication that it is spinning very rapidly?
Actually, the nearly perfect spherical shape of the moon is more attributed to its own gravity pulling it into a round shape, rather than its rotation speed. The moon's rotation is tidally locked with Earth, so it rotates at the same rate it orbits, which is why we always see the same side of the moon facing us.
What happens if the moon disappeared?
asteriods would hit earth,spinning faster,ocean tides reduced etc
Why do the moon surface feature always look the same?
Because the moon's periods of rotation on its axis and of revolution around the Earth are equal ... 27.32 days. -- To an observer on Earth, the moon always presents the same face. -- To an observer on the moon, the Earth is always at nearly the same place in the sky. . . . . . . If the observer is on the side of the moon that faces Earth, it's ALWAYS in his sky, and he can watch the Earth rotate completely, roughly every 24 hours 50 minutes. . . . . . . If the observer is on the side that doesn't face Earth, then it's NEVER in his sky.
How does the spinning of Earth affect Earth's water?
Very little as it is spinning at a constant speed. However, the moon does affect the Earth's seas, greatly.
Movements of the moon?
the moon is spinning around us very slowly
Why is the moon spinning around the Earth and not any other planet?

Does the moon demonstrate any predictable patterns?
yes,because as the earth is spinning on its axis it changes its seasons.

Why is day and night?
because we need night to sleep and we have the moon which gives us nightthere is day and night because as the earth is orbitting round the sun ,is also spinning and moon is also orbitting round the earth.there is day and night because as the earth is orbitting round the sun ,is also spinning and moon is also orbitting round the earth.

Name 5 verbs about the moon?
Spinning,Waxing,Waning,Revolving,Darkening
What causes the rising and setting of moon?
The moon rotates around the earth, and as it does so, our view of it makes it appear to 'rise' and 'set,' though really it's just spinning around us.
