What else can I help you with?
Will you ever see the far side of the moon from earth?
Certainly not in our lifetime.
Is the far side of the moon ever dark?
Yes. The far side of the moon is dark when we see a full moon. It is partially dark at all phases other than the new moon.
How often do yo see the far side of the moon?
Only 21 people have ever seen the far side of the Moon; they are all the Apollo astronauts. Since nobody has gone to the Moon in the last 45 years, most people NEVER see the far side of the Moon.
Why can't the people of India see the back side of the moon?
The Moon spins at the same rate that it orbits the Earth; once every 27 days. Because of that, the same side of the Moon always faces the Earth. Before the Soviet Luna space probes which took photos of the far side of the Moon, no one had ever known what it looked like. People of India cannot see the far side of the Moon? The People of EARTH cannot see the far side of the Moon.
Why dont you ever see the far side of the moon?
The Moon is "tidally locked" to the Earth, so it spins at the same speed as it orbits the Earth - once per 27 days. So we always see the same side of the Moon - the "near side".
When the moon is in its new phase what can you infer about the opposite side of the moon?
The far side of the moon is always opposite of the visible side. When the moon is new, it is between the Sun and the earth. Since we see the dark side of the moon, the opposite side must be fully lit by the sun. Likewise when we see a gibbous moon, the far side would be a crescent. When we see a full moon, the far side is in complete darkness.
Why are there two craters on the far side of the moon?
There can be craters anywhere on the moon, not just the side we see
Why is there a near side and a far side of the moon?
The near side of the moon always faces Earth due to synchronous rotation, where the moon completes one rotation on its axis in the same amount of time it takes to orbit Earth. This leaves the far side always hidden from view. The gravitational forces exerted by Earth create this tidal locking effect.
What is the other side of the moon that you cannot see called?
The 'Far Side'
Is the Moon's dark side the far side?
No. The far side of the moon is usually partially illuminated by the sun and is only completely dark during the full moon. The far side of the moon is fully lit during the new moon phase. It is called the "dark" side of the moon because we never see it.
Do you ever see the other side of the moon from earth?
no,
When did you see the dark side of the moon?
you see the dark side of the moon when you see half the moon. because there is always a full moon but you only see some of it exept when there is a full moon
