Where can I find more information on the orbits of planets and moons?

Our moon revolves around earth in a synchronous orbit, meaning that we only ever see one side of the moon. I’m trying to find information on what a non-synchronous orbit would look like. Are there moons that do not revolve around their main planet at the same rate at which they rotate? Is there a website that could let me play around with different revolution and rotation rates to see what that would look like?
Are there any good resources for total amateurs on these sorts of issues?
