Our moon is tidally locked with the earth . Because of this tidal friction it takes just as long to rotate around its own axis as it does to revolve around the earth . The synchronicity of this rotation causes the lunar hemisphere we see from this planet to always be the same one . The hemisphere that's always turned away from us is called the "far side " of the moon . The hemisphere that's not illuminated by our sun is called the " dark side " of the moon and should not be confused with the " far side " as they are only the same during a full moon .
It is called New moon. You can't see the moon but it is still there.
When you can not see the moon in the sky it is called a new moon
New moon is the phase when there is no light shining on the moon. If you are asking about when the Earth is just rotated away from the moon, that does not have a name.
New moon.
That is called the New Moon. The moon is between the Earth and the Sun. The sun is so bright, it makes the moon impossible to see, and, of course it's lit side is facing the sun.
half of the moon is called the dark side and we never see it.
It is called a new moon.
We only ever see the same side of the moon. The other side is called the far side or "the dark side of the moon"
After a full moon as we see less and less it's called a waning moon
The 'Far Side'
That is called the New Moon. The moon is between the Earth and the Sun. The sun is so bright, it makes the moon impossible to see, and, of course it's lit side is facing the sun.
That is because you are looking at the moon from only one side, and the moon does not rotate, so therefor, we don't see the dark side of the moon.
half of the moon is called the dark side and we never see it.
New Moon, they call it.
It is called a new moon.
When we are facing away from the Moon we are in daylight but for the other side of the world who are facing towards the Moon it is night time and that is when we can't see the Moon at all.
We only ever see the same side of the moon. The other side is called the far side or "the dark side of the moon"
The moon 'shines' by the light it reflects from the sun. When the moon is on the opposite side of the earth to the sun, sunlight is reflected from the full hemisphere of the moon we can see. this is a full moon.When the moon is on the same side of the sun the sunlight falls on the side we cannot see so no light is reflected to earth and we cannot see the moon even if it is above the horizon. This is a new moon.
Actually no. Because we cannot see the back side of the moon. But it is not always in dark. Sun can shine on it too
After a full moon as we see less and less it's called a waning moon
quarter moon
