B

C

D
A) is false, but B) is true
Solution
The Moon is the natural satellite of the Earth. The Moon is the second brightest object in the sky after the Sun.
- We can see only one side of the Moon from the Earth because the Moon rotates on its axis at the same rate that the Moon orbits the Earth. Also, the moon rotates on its axis at the same time that it takes to orbit the Earth i.e. approximately 27 days. So, Statement A is correct.
- The above-mentioned situation is known as tidal locking which slows the moon's rotation to the point where it always keeps the same side towards Earth. Thus it allows only one side of the moon's surface to be viewed from the Earth.
- The Moon orbits Earth once every 27.3 days and spins on its axis once every 27.3 days.
