The rotation of the moon, or the time it takes to rotate on it's axis exactly once, is
27.322 days (rounded), and the moon's orbital period, or the time the moon takes
to complete one full revolution around the Earth, is exactly the same. That's why the
Moon appears to always show the same face. We see the same side of the moon
and never get to view the far side from Earth.
The same as its period of revolution: four weeks (27.322 days, to be more precise).
As a consequence the same side of the moon always faces the earth.

The moon is always rotating. It completes a full rotation every 27.32 days.

What does the moon do around Earth?
does it revolves rotates phases or circles the anser is rotates
Does the moon revolve around the earth much slower then it rotates?
The moon rotates around the earth at the same rate that it rotates around it's own axis. This means that from earth it is only possible to see one side of the moon. That is why the moon rover expeditions were so intriguing to scientists.
Why do you only see 1 side of the moon?
the moon rotates on its axis once a month (28 days) The moon revolves around the earth every 28 days The moon is tidally locked with the earth which means that we always see the same side of the moon. It is true that the moon rotates around the earth but it does not spin on its axis.
Does moon revolves or rotate around earth?
It revolves around the earth, it rotates on its axis.
How does the Moon's revolution cause different phases of the moon?
The moon rotates around the earth while earth rotates around the sun. The moon's lighted side always points to the sun. The moon's revolution affects this because as the moon revolves it shows different sides t the earth.

Does the moon revolve the earth but don't rortate?
The moon revolves and rotates around the Earth

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.
How long is the moon phases and how long does the lunar cycle last and what causes the moon phase to change phase to phase?
The lunar cycle of phases is about 29.5 days. As the moon rotates and revolves around the earth, and the earth rotates and revolves around the sun, the shadows cast by the shifting positions of the moon and earth cause the moon to wane, wax, and "disappear". This is known as the lunar cycle.
