The Moon keeps the same side to the Earth. So there's a side you can't see from Earth. However it's best to call it the "far side" because that side does get lit by the Sun as the Moon goes round us. It's just that we never see it. I haven't deleted the answer below, but I don't think it really helps us much.
The point is that all we see is the "near side". It's fully lit at Full Moon, but mostly it's partly lit by the Sun as the Moon orbits us.

∙ 6y agoThere is no such thing as "the dark side of the moon." If you are talking about the far side of the moon, then yes, we have sent probes to photograph it.
The far side is always facing away from earth, but it's not always dark.

- But when it's dark on the far side, you can't see it, because the far side is always facing away from Earth. This is called a "Full Moon"

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

half of the moon is called the dark side and we never see it.
What side of the moon do we see?
you see the near side of the moon.
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.
Could you see earth if you were standing on the dark side of the moon?
If you look down, you will see the surface of the moon. If you look up, you will be able to see other celestial bodies in the sky, such as Earth, stars, other planets, etc., as long as they are not currently below the horizon of the moon. However, since the moon keeps the same face toward the Earth, if you are not on the side facing Earth, you will not see the Earth at all.
Do the moon have dark side?
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
Which side of the moon do you see from earth?
The "near" side of the moon is the side that always faces Earth. The "far" side of the moon can only be seen from space. The dark side of the moon is the title of a Pink Floyd album. There is no side of the moon that is always dark.
Why is there always a dark side of the moon?
There isn't always a dark side of the moon. The moon has day and night on all sides.There is, however, always a far side that we never see.
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.
Where is the dark side of the moon as it moves to full?
From Earth, you can only see ONE side of the moon. And that is the same side that has been facing us for as long as I can remember. The moon does not rotate its face. I'm afraid you can't ever see the dark side of moon from Earth :(
Why is it that you cannot see the other side of the moon from earth?
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.
What does “The Dark Side of the Moon” mean?
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.
