Question

question 5 1 pts the moon always shows nearly the same face toward earth because ________. sunlight always hits the same face of the moon the moon rotates once in the same amount of time that it takes earth to orbit the sun the moon does not rotate the moon rotates once in the same amount of time that it takes earth to rotate on its axis the moon rotates once in the same amount of time that it takes the moon to orbit earth

Explanation:

The Moon is in synchronous rotation with Earth. It rotates on its axis once in the same amount of time it takes to orbit Earth, which is why we always see nearly the same face of the Moon from Earth. Sunlight does not determine which face we see. The Moon does rotate and the time - related to Earth's rotation on its axis or orbit around the Sun is not relevant to this phenomenon.

Answer:

the Moon rotates once in the same amount of time that it takes the Moon to orbit Earth
