Yes. The Earth rotates once each day so we all see the same thing.

Which moon always has the same side facing the planet?
Most moons do that. Earth's Moon is the most readily visible example.
Does china see the dark side of the moon?
Astronomically speaking, since the moon rotates similarly to the Earth, one side of the moon is always hidden from everyone terrestrially.
What type of moon happens when The moon and sun are on the same side of Earth?
new moon ^_^
Why do we only see the ''near side'' of the moon and never the far side?
The moon spins at the same speed that it orbits the earth so we always see the same side.
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 side does the moon shine on Florida?
The same side as everyone else on this planet.
What side of the moon do you see in Virginia?
Everyone on earth sees the same face of the moon.
Which moon always has the same side facing the planet?
Most moons do that. Earth's Moon is the most readily visible example.
Does the moon spin on axes?
Yes, the moon rotates aound it's axis, but it doees that in the same time as it orbits our planet - this is why only one side of the moon faces us (the near side).
What is the name of the planet on the side of the moon?
The moon orbits the Earth
Does the whole world see the full moon the same way?
No, the earth is round, so not everyone can see the moon at the same time. Only when your side of the world is pointed toward the moon can you see it.
Why are moons sometimes locked with the orbital period of their planets?
This is actually quite common. The reason is that a Moon around a planet will rotate slower and slower (due to tidal forces), until it always shows its planet the same side. At the same time, the planet - for example, our Earth - will rotate slower and slower, until it will show the Moon the same size. This assumes there is a single Moon, as in the case of Earth. However, since the planet has a larger mass, and thus a higher rotational momentum, it will take the planet longer to slow down. In the case of Earth/Moon, the Moon has already slowed down as far as it can; Earth will slow down, to always show the Moon the same side, some time in the future.
Why is only one part of the moon is seen at different times of the moon?
The rotation of the moon is at the same rate as its trip around the planet, so the same side always faces earth. This was caused by the influence of gravity over the billions of years since they formed.
Why is the day on the moon the same length as a year on the moon?
it's because the moon is tidally locked to the earth, with the near side always facing the planet the moon completes only 1 rotation for every time it goes around the 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
Why is there a near side and a far side of the moon?
We only ever see the same side of the moon. The other side is called the far side or "the dark side of the moon"
Is it possible to move the planet if everyone on one side the most populated jumped at exactly the same time?
No, but you could attempt it and see what happens. LOL
