If the moon rotates around the earth then how does the same side of the moon face the earth?
First understand that Just like the Earth, the Moon does spin on its axis. However the spin of the Moon is "tidally locked" with Earth so that as the Moon orbits the Earth about every 27 days, it also makes one very slow spin in the same direction every 27 days.
This means that no matter when you see the Moon, it always shows the same side to the Earth.

Does the moon rotate only once per revolution?

What takes the most time one revolution of earth or one revolution around the moon or one rotation of the earth or one rotation of the moon?

Where does the moon rotate?
The moon rotates in space. As for HOW the moon rotates, it rotates about it's own axis and revolves around the Earth. As for WHY, it is due to the conservation of angular momentum.
Does the moon Luna rotate around the earth as it revolves around it?
No. The Moon rotates around its own axis as it revoles around Earth.
The moon rotates about how many days?
The moon rotates on its axis once each 27.32 days. Also, the time it takes to complete one orbital revolution around the Earth is exactly the same as its rotation period. That's why the "face" of the moon visible from Earth is always the same.
Does the moon or the sun move?
Answer 1) They all move. But the moon moves around the earth which goes around the sun which is spinning.Answer 2) Both move. The sun rotates on a fixed point. The moon rotates arounds a fixed point and also rotates around the Earth.
