The moon does rotate however the time it takes to rotate is the same time it takes to orbit the earth therefore we never actually see the far side from earth. If you look up stats to compare the moon - earth and sun it is really interesting and there are many strange coincidences and leads to the probability that the moon is not necessary natural |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 57703343 United States 01/15/2015 01:30 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Isn't the moons orbit elliptical though... So does that mean it rotates faster when at its furthest point then slows back down again as it gets nearer to earth?? Surely the standard theory would only make sense if the moon perfectly orbited the earth in a circular fashion? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 67047747 The moon's elliptical orbit is what causes libration. Overall, observers on Earth can actually see about 59% of the moon's surface as one side and then the other comes into view as the moon orbits the Earth. |

Moon is 1/40th the size of the sun, but the sun is 40 times further away, giving us the illusion they are the same size and enabling eclipses. Thoth took a gamble when he put the moon there, it added 5 days to the previously 360 day year, think of how when a ballerina spreads out her arms her rotation speed is slowed, adding a moon is similiar.. It must have some significant purposes like enabling us to keep track of time and seasons, and I'm sure their are some other attributes less well known. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 67050714 United States 01/15/2015 03:55 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The moon was avulsed off of the planet earth by an impact and reaggregated over time. It should be clear that the planetary mechanism is an induced spin or spiral so anything lacking a spin has been created by other means, most likely by impacts and scattered randomly. The moon has no spin and is held in place by gravity as a result of conversion of angular momentum at impact at what appears as a geostationary orbit, in fact the spin is slowly drawing the moon farther away over time due to centrifugal forces and it's gravitation flux gradually decreasing over time. Without the moons stabilization all life and planetary stability becomes impossible. |
