Why people see the same side of the moon?
Just like the sun the moon rises and sets...so as the earth rotates you see the same moon and the same sun it's just when the sun is on one part of the earth you see the moon and vice versa..... Comment: I can't say that helps much, but I will not delete that answer. This is my answer: People see the same side of the Moon because gravity has locked the Moon's rotation period at the same length of time as the time the Moon takes to complete one orbit of the Earth. If you think about it, that means we must always see the same 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.
Do all earth hemispheres see the same side of the moon?
As long as you're on Earth, you will always see the same side of the moon. This is because the moon is tidally locked with the earth, meaning is rotational period is the same as its revolutionary period. This allows us to always see the same side of the moon, no matter where on earth we are.
What is the reason why the same side of the moon always faces the earth?
The same side of the moon always faces the earth because of a phenomenon called tidal locking, where the moon's rotation period is the same as its orbit around the earth. This causes one side of the moon to always be facing towards the earth.
How often does the earth set from the moon?
It never does because the same face of the moon is always pointed at Earth. This is due to the fact that the moon revolves around Earth at the same speed it rotates on it's axis, so Earth remains in the same relative location in the sky on the moon.
What side of the moon do you see from earth?
You always see the same side - as the moon takes the same time to orbit the earth as it does to rotate once on its axis !
What type of moon is it when the moon and sun are on the same side of Earth?
It is a new moon.
When the moon and the sun are on the same side of earth what phase is this?
it is a new moon
Why can you not stand on earth and see the far side of the moon?
The Moon is tidally locked to Earth; the Moon's "day" and the Moon's month are the same length. So the "near side" of the Moon always faces the Earth, and the "far side" always faces away from Earth.
Do you see the same side of the moon?
Yes. Because of its locked orbit, the same side of the moon always faces the Earth.
Which occurs when the moon spins on its axis at the same rate it orbits the earth?
The same side of the moon always faces the Earth
Why do you see the same side of the moon from earth?
It is because the moon takes the same time to rotate as it does to orbit the earth, meaning we always see the same side of it. In truth we can see a little over half of the moon throughout its rotation, but never the far side of the moon.
