Astronomically speaking, since the moon rotates similarly to the Earth, one side of the moon is always hidden from everyone terrestrially.
This sentence is a metaphor comparing people to the moon. The moon rotates just enough so that only one side ever faces the Earth. The side that we cannot see is known as the dark side of the moon. This sentence is saying that like the moon, people often have a side of them that people do not see. It suggests that this side of people is dark and filled with secrets that the person does not wish others to see.
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.
That is because the Moon has to be between the Sun and the Earth, to cover the Sun from our point of view. When this happens, we see the dark side of the Moon - i.e., it is new moon.That is because the Moon has to be between the Sun and the Earth, to cover the Sun from our point of view.

The side of the moon that we never see is more heavily cratered than the side wealways see. One possible way to understand that is to realize that anything headingfor impact on the side of the moon that we see has to get past the Earth first inorder to hit the moon. So in a sense, the side we see is 'shielded' from many of theobjects that would otherwise hit it.By the way . . . there's no "dark side" of the moon. No matter where you stand onthe moon, you'd see the sun rise, stay up for two weeks while it slowly crosses thesky, then set and stay down for the next two weeks.
At just about any phase, you can see half of the Moon's surface. Close to new moon, however, it may be hard to see the dark side.
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.
you see the near side of the moon.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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 :(
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.
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.
