Asked by Amanda

Suppose the moon rotated on its axis just as quickly as earth. Would you still see the same side of the moon from earth?
Please help!
Answered by Damon
The only reason we always see the man in the moon is that the moon spins around its own axis at exactly the period it revolves in its orbit around earth. Any other period of rotation would let us see the dark side of the moon :)
Try it with a tennis ball and a table lamp :)
