Moon facts🌙
#Rotation & Distance Unveiled! 🌕
Did you know the Moon *does* rotate—but you’ll never see its far side from Earth? 🌍🌙 It’s called **"#synchronous rotation"**—the Moon spins once on its #axis *exactly* as long as it takes to orbit Earth (≈27 days), keeping the same face toward us!
Fun scale fact:
If Earth and #Moon were just *#1.5 inches apart** in a model, the real distance would stretch over *#238,900 miles*! 🚀 This cosmic tango stabilizes our planet’s tilt and creates tides.
*✔️👍🏼Like & share* to unravel more space secrets!
