Can you see the entire surface of the moon from earth?
Actually you can only see the whole moon in space. On earth you can only see about half. No, Just the half of it. That's what the term "dark side of the Moon" stands for. The "dark side" of the Moon is the side unseen from Earth. The moon rotates on its axis once in the time that it take for it to orbit the Earth at this time of its history. The result is that the same side always faces the earth. so we only ever get to see one face of it, while the other side remained a mystery, at least until we managed to go there and have a look.
How many faces does the moon have?
The moon has one face that is constantly facing the Earth, a phenomenon known as synchronous rotation. This means that only one side of the moon is visible to us from Earth.
