Answer #1

The moon is a spherical body. The phases of the moon i.e. from the new moon to the full moon happens due to the position of the moon in the Earth's orbit. When the moon comes exactly in between the Earth and the Sun, we see a new moon because the illuminated part is facing the sun. Now even if we flip the moon, the illuminated part will still be facing away from the Earth just that the side of the moon will change. Now as the moon moves away from that position the moon becomes visible bit by bit. This the Earth's spin won't be affected at all.
