Who wrote the dark side of the moon?

Answer 1

There technically is no dark side of the moon. It's just the part of the moon that we don't see from earth. The more common term is 'far side'. We never see the 'far side' of the moon because the face of the moon that we see is always oriented toward earth. As the moon goes through its monthly orbit of earth, the moon is also slowly turning on its axis in such a way that one orbit is on average exactly the same length of time as one rotation. The same side always faces earth.

Answer 2

Yes, but it's probably not what you think.

At any moment, 1/2 of the moon's surface is illuminated by the sun, and the other 1/2 is in darkness ... exactly as happens on Earth, and any other spherical body illuminated by a single light source. And exactly as happens on Earth, the line between the light half and the dark half is continuously moving, so that over the long haul, every point on the entire surface is in sunlight for 50% of the time and in darkness for the other 50% of the time.

There's no place on either the Moon or the Earth that's ALWAYS, eternally and perpetually, in either light or dark, with the possible exception of coal mines, and the floors of craters with exceptionally high walls.

Answer 3

Literally there is a far side of the moon being the side we don't see from Earth. But it's not always dark. You will notice you can always see the same craters on the moon every night from where you live, you never get to see the other side.

Abstractly it could mean the side we see is referred to as 'good' and the other side 'evil' so the dark side of the moon is referring to opposite of its good counterpart.

Answer 4

There is no "dark side" of the moon. Every place on the moon is light for 50%

of the time and dark for the other 50% of the time, just as on earth.

There is a "far side" of the moon ... the part we never see from earth. That side

is generally rougher and more heavily cratered than the side that faces us.

Answer 5

If you mean the album by Pink Floyd there is no song called the dark side of the moon, it is what the album is called.

Songs on the album and who wrote them:

Speak to Me - Drummer Nick Mason receives a rare solo writing credit for the track

Breathe - David Gilmour, Roger Waters, and Richard Wright

On the Run - Gilmour, Waters

Time - Gilmour, Waters, Wright, Mason

The Great Gig in the Sky - Wright, Clare Torry*

Money - Waters

Us and Them - Waters, Wright

Any Colour You Like - Gilmour, Wright, Mason

Brain Damage - Waters

Eclipse - Waters

If you were wondering who wrote the script for the movie The Dark Side of the Moon, that was Carey and Chad Hayes.

Answer 6

1). There is no "dark side of the moon". Every point on the moon is illuminated for roughly 50% of the time, just like every point on earth.

2). None of the Apollo missions landed or traveled to the far side of the moon ... the side that's invisible from earth ... mainly because they could not have communicated with earth by radio from there.

Answer 8

Yes. Because of the way the light from the sun hits the moon, there is a side that can never be seen from Earth.

Answer 9

Yes there is a Dark side of the moon in an manner of speaking. But as the moon moves around the Earth, it also rotates on an axis. So the moons dark side always changes.

Answer 10

No part of the Moon is permanently dark. The "dark side" refers to the side that is away from Earth, that can't be seen from Earth.
