The moon spins quite slowly, about once each 27 days, this monthly rate of spin matches the rate at which the moon revolves about the Eath.
The Radius of the moon = 382 000 000 metres Pi = 3.14159265 2 x 382 000 000 x 3.14159265 = 2 400 176784.6 The distance the moon travels in one revolution of the Earth is = 2 400 176784.6 meters The moon takes 27.32166 days to orbit the Earth. 2 400 176 784.6 / 27.32166 = 87 848 863.67 (2dp) metres in one day. 87 848 863.67 / 24 = 3 660 369.32 (2dp) metres in one hour 3 660 369.32 / 60 = 61 006.16 (2dp) metres in one minute 61 006.16 / 60 = 1 016.77 (2dp) metres in one secondlook it up
A rate is a ratio which measures a certain variable in an amount of time. The most common rate would be distance / time (which measures speed).
Multiply or divide both the numerator (top) and the denominator (bottom) of the ratio or fraction by any non-zero integer or divide both by any common factor. You will have an equivalent rate.
the birthrate on earth is higher than the death rate. apex
an example of a ratio is the difference between two numbers or sets of numbers such as 600 and 200... the ratio is 400...

No, it is in orbit around earth. It has an orbital velocity which would take it away from the Earth it it were no for the gravitational attraction of the two bodies. There are two opposite things going on that keep the Earth and Moon in their positions. The moon is actually getting further away from the Earth at about a rate of 4cm a year.
The Moon revolves around the Earth once in about 27.32 days. At its orbital distanceof about 238,000 miles, that works out to an average of about 2,281 miles per hourrelative to the center of the Earth.
The phenomenon where the same side of the moon always faces the Earth is called synchronous rotation. This occurs because the gravitational forces between the Earth and the moon have caused the moon's rotation period to match its orbital period around the Earth.
This has to do with the different orbital planets of Earth and the Moon. Earth revolves around the Sun in flat planar orbit. The Moon similarly revolves about Earth in flat planar orbit. But the planets are slightly tipped with respect to each other - a 5.2* tilt The moons rotation on its axis is equal to its orbit round the Earth with respect to the sun and stars. It presents one side permanently to the Earth so in relation to the earth it does not rotate.
The moon moves away from Earth at a rate of approximately 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) per year due to tidal forces. This gradual drift is caused by the transfer of Earth's rotational energy to the moon's orbital motion.
The Moon is tidally locked to Earth, meaning it rotates on its axis at the same rate it orbits Earth, resulting in the same side always facing us. In contrast, Earth rotates at a faster rate and does not exhibit tidal locking with the Moon.
The same side of the moon always faces the Earth

Not hardly. The moon is moving away from the Earth at a rate of a few inches per year. In about 25000 years, the moon may have the potential to escape the gravity of the Earth.
No, the moon is not falling towards the Earth. It is actually moving away from our planet at a very slow rate.
The moon rotates and revolves at the same rate
