What else can I help you with?
How often do yo see the far side of the moon?
Only 21 people have ever seen the far side of the Moon; they are all the Apollo astronauts. Since nobody has gone to the Moon in the last 45 years, most people NEVER see the far side of the Moon.
When sunlight shines on far side of the moon. this is called?
This phenomenon is called a "lunar sunrise." It occurs when sunlight illuminates the far side of the moon as seen from Earth.
Did any astronauts ever went to the far side of the moon?
No they did not
Is the far side of the moon ever dark?
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.
Will you ever see the far side of the moon from earth?
Certainly not in our lifetime.
How often do you see the far of the moon?
You never see the far side of the moon. Somewhat coincidently the moon has an angular rotation as the earths rotation, and therefore the same side of the moon is always facing earth. The far side is never seen. To the extent that the rotations are not exact, there may be a slight variation over many, many years.
Why is the phrase dark side of the moon not right?
You can use the phrase "dark side of the Moon" - but not as a synonym for "far side of the Moon". The Moon has days and nights like the Earth does, except that lunar days are 28 days long. The far side of the Moon - the part never seen from Earth - also gets days and nights just like the side we see.
Is it true that earth is seen upwards from moon?
Generally, yes, just as we see the moon when it is "up". Earth can be just over the horizon of the moon, or straight up, depending where you are on the moon. The same side of the moon always faces the earth, so from the far side, Earth can never be seen.
Which side of the moon do you see from earth?
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.
Why is there a near side and a far side of the moon?
The near side of the moon always faces Earth due to synchronous rotation, where the moon completes one rotation on its axis in the same amount of time it takes to orbit Earth. This leaves the far side always hidden from view. The gravitational forces exerted by Earth create this tidal locking effect.
What does the side towards us of the moon look like?
Well we can see that by looking through a telescope: craters and maria (seas) as well as plains. The far side of the Moon, which is never seen on Earth, is only seen by lunar orbiters.
Why can't the people of India see the back side of the moon?
The Moon spins at the same rate that it orbits the Earth; once every 27 days. Because of that, the same side of the Moon always faces the Earth. Before the Soviet Luna space probes which took photos of the far side of the Moon, no one had ever known what it looked like. People of India cannot see the far side of the Moon? The People of EARTH cannot see the far side of the Moon.
