The moon does not circle the earth in a perfect circle, so the distance from the earth to the moon varies. The average distance is about 235,000 miles. It can be slightly less--say 220,000 miles when it is at it's closest (called the perigee) and slightly more--say 250.000 miles at the farthest (called the apogee).
Hope this helps.
For all practical purposesUranus is just as far from Earth's moon as it is from the Earth.

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.

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.
When the moon's sunlight is on the far side, it is in the New Moon phase. During this phase, the side of the moon facing Earth is not illuminated, making the moon nearly invisible in the night sky. This occurs when the moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun.
This is an uneducated way of referring to the far side of the moon. But the far side isn't always dark.
