The MOON rotates on it axis, but slowly, in about the same time it takes Earth to rotate on its own, about 27 days. That's why you always see the same side of the Moon.........

CORRECT ANSWER:The moon doesnt rotate as it revolves around the earth, so we see the same side from the earth all the time. It wasnt until the late 1960's that we were able to send a spacecraft around the moon and see the dark side of the moon.

The moon is tidally locked to Earth, meaning that it rotates on its axis at the same rate that it orbits Earth, causing one side (the near side) to always face us while the other side (the far side) remains hidden.
