If the Moon rotated on its axis as quickly as Earth, we would not always see the same side of the Moon from Earth. Currently, the Moon is tidally locked, meaning it takes the same amount of time to rotate on its axis as it does to orbit Earth, resulting in one side always facing us. If it rotated faster, different parts of the Moon would be visible from Earth over time.
