Yes, we can see only one side (face) of the Moon. This is called the "near side".
The "far side" is not visible from anywhere on Earth's surface. This is because the Moon has become "tidally locked" to the Earth due to gravity. The Moon still rotates, but the period of that rotation is now exactly equal to its period of revolution around the Earth.
Due to slight changes called libration, we can see slightly more than half of the Moon over the time of its orbit. The appearance of most the "far side" of the Moon was completely unknown before the Soviet Union sent a space probe in 1959 to circle the Moon and take photographs of the far side.
* It is not accurate to call the far side of the Moon the "dark side". Every
place on the Moon has a regular cycle of daylight (sun up in the sky) and
darkness (sun below the horizon and not visible in the sky). The Moon's
"daytime" and "night-time" are each about 14.8 days, at every place on the
near side AND the far side. Wherever you might be on the Moon, you have a
cycle of light and dark, just as you do on Earth. But whereas the complete
cycle repeats every 24 HOURS on Earth, it's 29.5 DAYS on the Moon.
What else can I help you with?
Why do you see one side of the moon and never see the other side?
because the light reflects on the moon and we only see the lighted side
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.
Do you only see one side od the moon?
Yes.
Why do you se only one side of the moon?
The same side of the moon always faces Earth due to its synchronous rotation, called tidal locking. This means that the moon's rotation period matches its orbital period around Earth, causing one side to always be facing us while the other side remains hidden from view.
Why can you only see one side of the Moon's from earth?
cuz you have to be in like china to see the other side ;-)
You only see one side of the earth because?
I think you meant moon. Its because the moon rotaes at the same speed it revolves around earth. So you can only see one side of it from earth.
Why you always look at the same side of moon?
the reason you only see one side of the moon is because the rotation of the moon and the revolution speed of the moon are the same
Can the moon turn?
Yes it can, and it does. The moon rotates once every revolution, which is how we only see one side of the moon.
Why do people on Earth see only one side of the Moon when the Moon is visible in the sky?
cause we are asleep
Why do you only see the right side of the moon?
Because the sun is only on the right side of the moon.
Why do you see only one side of the moo from eart?
The moon rotates as fast as it orbits the earth, thus only one side faces it.
Do you only ever see one side of the moon?
yeah, we can only see the one side of the moon. It makes a rotation every 29 and a half days which is the exact time that it takes to make an orbit around the earth. Due to this phenomenon and seeming coincidence, we can only see one half...
