which way does the moon rotate

It rotates about its axis to present the same side to the earth at the same rate as it orbits around the Earth.

It takes 27.32 days for the moon to spin all the way on its axis. « Reply #3 on: 20/05/2009 17:54:59 » as the rotation of the Moon is virtually locked to that of the Earth when the Earth rotates anticlockwise (viewed from above the north pole)so does the Moon. In which direction does the Moon rotate? Misconception The Moon does not rotate. The Moon makes its own light (the same way the Sun does).

It also takes approximately 27 days for the moon to rotate once on its axis. If it didn’t it wouldn’t present the same view toward the Earth as it orbited around it. Reality The Moon reflects the light of the Sun, just as the planets do. In fact, the bright part of the Moon is experiencing daytime. But if you looked down on the Earth-Moon system from the north celestial pole, from the perspective of Polaris, the North Star, you’d see that the Moon actually does rotate on its axis. It also takes 27.32 days for the moon to rotate around earth so that's why we always see the same side on the moon. The moon does rotate about its own axis.
