The moon always revolves around the earth with the same side facing the Earth. The reason is because the moon's period of rotation is the same as its orbital period around the earth. The moon rotates once on its axis every month. As an orbiting body, if the moon did not rotate on its axis, its orbiting motion would expose all of its surface toward the earth at some point during the month.
