Draw a circle of about 1 m diameter on the ground. Ask one of your friends to stand at the centre of this circle. You revolve around your friend in such a manner that your face always remains towards him. Can your friend see your back? How many rotations did you complete in one revolution? The moon revolves around the Earth in a similar manner.

No, my friend cannot see my back. One rotation is completed in one revolution.
It is concluded that the moon completes one rotation on its axis as it completes one revolution around the Earth.
