Does the earth see only one side of the moon?

Answer 1

No. The amount of the Moon visible from the Earth varies, depending on the phase of the Moon.

At Full Moon, you see nearly all of the Moon's illuminated side. At New Moon, you see nearly

none of it. At Quarter Moon, you see about half of it.

Answer 2

Yes. It was not until the US astronaut program that human eyes had seen the "dark" side of the moon.
Yes. The moon is tidally locked in orbit around the earth, and the same side of the moon faces the earth all the time. The moon is actually rotating about its axis, but it period of rotation is identical to the period of its orbit about the earth. Wikipedia has a nice article on tidal locking, and a link is provided.
Yes, the side of the moon seen from Earth is always the same side.

Answer 3

Relative to the Earth, the Moon makes one rotation every 27.32 days. That happens to also be the time it takes for the Moon to complete one revolution around the Earth. Therefore the same side of the moon is more or less always pointed toward the Earth and we only see that same side.
The moon orbits around the earth once every month. It happens that the rotation of the moon on its axis is tidally locked with the earth. This means that the moon's rotational period is equal to its orbital period around the earth. For every monthly revolution around the earth, the moon has one rotation on its axis. So wherever the moon happens to be in its orbit, the moon has rotated enough so that the same face (for the most part) is toward the earth. There is an interesting phenomenon called libration (an apparent motion, not a true motion) that makes the moon appear to swing a little back and forth, and up and down. But on average, there is one rotation for every revolution. If this were not true, every part of the moon's surface would face earth at one time or another.

Answer 4

We see the same of the moon from earth because that is the side that always faces the sun. So that's how we see the moon phases and the side we always see.

You always see the same side of the moon from earth because the moon orbits on its axis at the same speed that it rotates around the earth, so the same side of the moon is always facing the earth.

Answer 5

All of the moon is illuminated at some period in its orbit around the Earth. However the same side of the moon always faces the earth. As a consequence you only see that side lit during its orbit. Even when the side we see is only partially illuminated we can see all of that side with the proper viewing apparatus.

Answer 6

yes we never see the dark side of the moon

Answer 7

We only see one side of the moon because the moon rotates once every revolution.

Answer 8

No, the amount seen varies with the phase of the moon.

Answer 9

The speed of the Moon's rotation keeps the same side always facing Earth.

Answer 10

The side that's visible.
