Is the following statement true or false:

It takes the same amount of time for the moon to rotate on its axis as it takes it to complete a revolution around the earth.

Yes!!! The time it takes for the Moon to rotate once around its axis is equal to the time it takes for the Moon to orbit once around Earth. This keeps the same side of the Moon facing towards Earth throughout the whole month.
