What are the orbital period of the Moon around the Earth and the rotational period of the Moon about its own axis?
(N/A) The orbital period of the Moon around the Earth is approximately $27.3$ days.
Similarly,the rotational period of the Moon about its own axis is also approximately $27.3$ days.
Because these two periods are equal,the same side of the Moon always faces the Earth.
