Detailed explanation-1: -It travels around our planet once every 27.322 days in an elliptical orbit, an elongated circle. The Moon is tidally locked with Earth, which means that it spins on its axis exactly once each time it orbits our planet. Because of this, people on Earth only ever see one side of the Moon.
Detailed explanation-2: -Does the Moon spin on its axis? Yes! The time it takes for the Moon to rotate once on its axis is equal to the time it takes for the Moon to orbit once around Earth. This keeps the same side of the Moon facing towards Earth throughout the month.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Earth’s gravity maintained this spin state even as other gravitational interactions caused the moon to move outward to its present orbital radius.
Detailed explanation-4: -Movement of moon of its own axis is called Rotation movement around the Sun is called Revolution.
Detailed explanation-5: -Viewed from above, the Moon orbits Earth in the same direction as our planet rotates, so the Moon actually moves from west to east through our sky.
