I'm not too sure where you are looking from, but from Earth, the Moon looks a lot smaller than the Earth.
As long as you're on Earth, you will always see the same side of the moon. This is because the moon is tidally locked with the earth, meaning is rotational period is the same as its revolutionary period. This allows us to always see the same side of the moon, no matter where on earth we are.
The moon's orbital period is the same as its rotational period, so the same side of the moon always faces the earth.
The moon always shows the same face to the Earth due to its synchronous rotation, meaning it takes the same amount of time to rotate on its axis as it does to orbit the Earth. This synchronization occurs because of the gravitational forces between the Earth and the moon.
The Moon rotates once per orbit, and has the same side of the Moon always facing the Earth. So looking at the Earth from the Moon, it's always in pretty much the same place.Because the Moon rotates at a constant speed but follows an elliptical orbit, there is a little variation; over the course of several months, the Earth would appear to "wobble" a little in the lunar "sky", and would appear to get somewhat smaller and larger as the Moon recedes from the Earth and then gets closer.
The astronauts on the moon were able to see the earth at all times, though not the same face of earth each time. Unlike on earth, from an observers fixed position, the moon would be in view between moon rise and moon set, only.
The moon takes about 27.3 days to rotate once on its axis. This rotation period is almost the same as its orbital period around the Earth, which is why we always see the same face of the moon from Earth.
The same side of the moon always faces the earth because of a phenomenon called tidal locking, where the moon's rotation period is the same as its orbit around the earth. This causes one side of the moon to always be facing towards the earth.
What on earth (or rather the moon) is that supposed to mean?!
The same side of the moon always faces the Earth

The moon rotates and revolves at the same rate
The answer is yes. We always see the same side of the moon from the Earth because the time it takes the moon to circle the Sun is the same as the time it takes to circle itself.
The Earth.
The same side of the moon always faces Earth because of a phenomenon called synchronous rotation. This means that the moon's rotation period is the same as its orbital period around Earth, causing one side to always be facing us.

Because the moon turns as it goes around the Earth.
