Explain why we always see the same side of moon.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We always see the same side of the moon because the moon's period of revolution around the earth is equal to the period of rotation of the moon on its axis. As a result, we can only see the side that is facing us. The moon takes about 27.3 days to orbit Earth.
