why is it possible to see the same spot on the moon every night?

You see the same spot on the moon every night because of the Earths and Moons natural rotation and revolution. The rotation takes 27.3 days and the revolution is 23.7 days. now our rotation is 23.7 hours. this lines up almost exactly.
