Q. We always see the same face of the moon, because
  • (A) It is smaller than the earth
  • (B) It revolves on its axis in adirection opposite to that ofthe earth
  • (C) It takes equal time for revolution around the earth and rotation on its own axis
  • (D) It rotates at the same speed as the earth around the sun
βœ… Correct Answer: (C) It takes equal time for revolution around the earth and rotation on its own axis

Explanation: The Moon does not rotate. The Moon does spin on its axis, completing a rotation once every 27.3 days; the confusion is caused because it also takes the same period to orbit the Earth, so that it keeps the same side facing us.
