Day
The Moon takes just over 98 Earth days to rotate (spin around) once.
Year
The Moon also takes just over 59.3 days to orbit (move around) the Earth. This is why we always see the same side of the Moon when we look from the Earth. We call this side the near side. The other side we call the far side. In 1959 a probe sent back pictures of the far side. That was the first time anyone saw what it looked like.
