The Moon rotates on its axis in roughly the same time it takes to orbit Earth — about 27–28 days — a phenomenon called tidal locking. Because of this synchronization, we see nearly the same lunar face from Earth at all times. Minor oscillations called librations allow us to glimpse slightly more than half over time. This gravitational balance has shaped Earth’s tides and stabilized planetary rotation for billions of years. Important Details: • Tidal locking phenomenon • ~27–28 day rotation cycle
