Is the far side of Pluto's moon Charon always dark?
No. Charon is tidally locked to Pluto such that one side always face toward Pluto and once side always faces away. Since Charon orbits Pluto (or rather the common center of mass between the two) the far side of Charon experiences daylight while it is night on the side facing Pluto.

Why do you have the saying the dark side of the moon?
The moon rotates in unison with the earth, so we only ever see one side of it. So no matter where you are on the globe, you ALWAYS see the same face of the moon. That is the "lit" side of the moon. The "dark side" (in quotes because it actually isn't always dark, we just don't ever see it), is the side that we do not see, because it is always tilted away from us. Having said that, the expression, "dark side of the moon," often refers to a very mysterious object or something unfamiliar that a person hasn't experienced before.
Why does the moon have different temperatures even though there is no atmosphere?
The moon is in an orbit where it will never face us. Whenever the moons dark side is faced away it will always be in the shade, thus making it colder. Same with the bright side. Fun fact for you: The Apollo astronauts were the only people to see the dark side of the moon.
When does the dark side of the moon face earth?
There is no "dark side" of the moon, meaning a side that's always dark. When it's nighttime on the moon on its near side, we see a New Moon. When it's nighttime on the far side, we see a Full Moon.The moon always keeps one face toward Earth, and to do that the moon has to rotate once on its axis every month. If you put a chair in the middle of the room, and you walk around the chair always facing it, then you'll find that you have to turn your body once with respect to the rest of the room before you can make one complete circuit around the chair.The moon does something similar. It always keeps one face toward the Earth - but to do that it has to spin on its axis once a month, at the same time that it's moving in its orbit around Earth. The moon's spin on its axis is what makes it possible for the moon to have a near side and a far side as seen from Earth.

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.
When the near side of the moon is dark is it a full moon?
Yes. The Moon's rotation on its axis is synchronous to its orbit of the Earth, timed so the same face of the Moon always faces Earth. But variations in viewing agles due to various orbital conditions allow us, over time, to view about 59 percent of the Moon's surface from Earth. The far side of the Moon is not dark any more than is the near side. As does Earth, every place on the Moon experiences light days and dark nights.
Is the moon always dark?
The Moon Is dark because the sun light reflects on it so when the sun"s light does not hit the moon it is going to be a dark moon
