Question : The moon completes ______ rotation on its axis as it completes one revolution around the Earth.
Option 1: 3
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 1
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 1
Solution : The correct option is 1.
The moon completes one rotation on its axis as it completes one revolution around the Earth. The Moon is tidally locked to the Earth, meaning it always shows the same face to our planet as it orbits. As a result, it takes the same amount of time for the Moon to complete one rotation on its axis as it does to complete one orbit around the Earth, about 27.3 days.
