Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The Earth, Sun, and Moon are constantly rotating. The Earth and Moon are also revolving. When the Earth, Sun, and Moon spin on their own axes, they are performing a motion called rotation. It takes one day, or 24 hours, for the Earth to make one complete rotation on its axis.
Detailed explanation-3: -Calculations of the evolution of the Earth/Moon system tell us that with this rate of separation that in about 15 billion years the Moon will stop moving away from the Earth.
