The Moon takes 27.3 days to rotate once on its axisā€¦ and 27.3 days to orbit Earth. Because those two motions are perfectly synchronized, the same hemisphere always faces us. Think of it like walking in a circle around a chair while always facing the center. Youā€™re turning as you move, but the same side of you always faces the ch
