For example, when the Moon is opposite to the Sun, it is full moon; when it is in the same direction as the Sun, it is new moon.
Gravity is caused by mass, it is unrelated to rotation.
Due to the phases of the moon and rotation of the Earth.
The period of rotation for the Moon (Luna) is approximately 27.3 Earth days. This means it takes about 27.3 days for the Moon to complete one full rotation on its axis.
An eclipse is caused by the moon blocking sunlight from reaching parts of earth. This can only happen when the moon is directly between the earth and sun. As the earth orbits the sun, it's angle of orbit changes throughout the year. This is what causes the seasons to change. It also allows different parts of the world to see an eclipse depending on the season and angle of orbit that the earth happens to be in. Earth's rotation slightly moves the location of an eclipse along as the earth rotates. (parallel to a line of longitude) A lunar eclipse is when the earth blocks sunlight from reaching the moon.
The tides are dependent on the earth's moon because the moon's gravitational pull brings the waves from high tide to low tide. Without the moon, waves would not exist.
The Earth's rotation is not dependent on the Moon; without the Moon, the Earth would still rotate. However, the Moon's gravitation gradually slows down Earth's rotation, so without the Moon, it is possible that Earth would now be rotating faster.The Earth's rotation is not dependent on the Moon; without the Moon, the Earth would still rotate.

The phenomenon of the moon always keeping the same face toward Earth is due to its synchronous rotation, which means that its rotation period is the same as its orbital period around Earth. This is caused by gravitational forces between the Earth and the moon, which have resulted in the moon's rotation becoming synchronized with its orbit.
The moon's rotation has no affect on the earth because the moon always faces its "near" side toward the earth. In the far distant past, the effect of the earth's presence slowed the moon's rotation until the present state was reached. The moon likewise slows the earth's rotation, but only by a tiny bit each century because the moon is so much smaller than the earth.
The moon rotates at a rate that matches its revolution around the earth since it has one face always toward the earth. So the moon's rotation is approximately 28 days, while the earth's is only 24 hours. Hence the moon's rotation is longer.
The Moon's period of rotation is about 27.3 days, which is the time it takes to complete one full rotation on its axis. This is the same amount of time it takes for the Moon to complete one orbit around the Earth. As a result, the same side of the Moon always faces the Earth.
The moon's rotation is not as fast as the Earth's rotation.
the length of the moon's rotation is 27.3 days (about 1 month)
a more accurate answer is The moon circles the Earth once for every time the moon spins on its axis so the same side is always toward the Earth.
No. The Moons phases are determined by the relative angles between the Sun, Earth and Moon. The changing position of the moon in the sky is because of the Earth's rotation, so is dependent on the time of day.
No. The rotation of the moon has no influence on daylight or darkness. It's the rotation of the earth that does it.
Because the time periods of the moon's rotation and revolution are exactly equal.
The rotation of the Earth and the moon
