The moon always keeps the same 'side' ... roughly 50% of its surface ... facing the earth.
If you're standing anywhere on that side of the moon, the earth is always in your sky.
If you're standing anywhere on the other side of the moon, the earth is never in your sky.
to use ur eyes wow really -.-..... Light emitted by the Sun is reflected to Earth by the Moon's surface.
You will see most of the moon's surface during the full moon phase when the entire illuminated side of the moon is facing Earth.
The Moon's surface is visible to an observer on Earth because sunlight reflects off the Moon's surface towards Earth. The amount of sunlight reflected depends on the Moon's position in its orbit, creating the different phases we see from Earth.
The photos of Earth taken from the Moon show oceans and clouds. Nothing else is distinguishable.
A person can see the Moon from Earth because the Moon reflects sunlight, which makes it visible to us. When the Sun's light hits the Moon's surface, it bounces off and travels to Earth, allowing us to see the Moon in the night sky.

If you were standing on the Moon, it would be easy to notice a solar eclipse; the Earth would block out the Sun, all over the Moon, for an hour or so. On the Earth, we would have called it a lunar eclipse. From the Moon, it would be difficult to notice an Earth eclipse; the shadow of the Moon on the Earth, so obvious when you're in the dark at midday, wouldn't be so obvious from 250K miles away; a small dark circle on the Earth.
The Moon's surface that faces Earth is called the near side. This side of the Moon is what we see from Earth and is the side that is always facing towards us due to its synchronous rotation with Earth.
No, the Earth's maps are not reflected onto the moon. The moon does not have an atmosphere to create reflections like we see on Earth. The appearance of the moon's surface is shaped by its own geology and lack of weathering processes.
The moon shines on Earth because it reflects sunlight. The moon does not produce its own light, so we see it shining because it reflects the sunlight hitting its surface back towards us on Earth. This reflection creates the glowing effect we see from Earth.
because the earth rotaes around so we are not able to see it fully
