The 'Far Side'
That is because you are looking at the moon from only one side, and the moon does not rotate, so therefor, we don't see the dark side of the moon.
When we are facing away from the Moon we are in daylight but for the other side of the world who are facing towards the Moon it is night time and that is when we can't see the Moon at all.
It is called the dark side of the moon because it never faces the earth, this is caused by the fact that the moon's rotation is the same number of days as it's revolution around the earth. Even though it is called the dark side of the moon it still is as bright as the front side. __________________________ There is no "dark side of the Moon"; the entire Moon has a day-night cycle of 29 days. The Moon always has the "Man in the Moon" face turned toward the Earth, and the other, hidden side is the "far side of the Moon".
That is called the New Moon. The moon is between the Earth and the Sun. The sun is so bright, it makes the moon impossible to see, and, of course it's lit side is facing the sun.
well its called the face or surface cause well that the only side we see and the other side is called the dark side so i hope i answer you question.
Our moon is tidally locked with the earth . Because of this tidal friction it takes just as long to rotate around its own axis as it does to revolve around the earth . The synchronicity of this rotation causes the lunar hemisphere we see from this planet to always be the same one . The hemisphere that's always turned away from us is called the "far side " of the moon . The hemisphere that's not illuminated by our sun is called the " dark side " of the moon and should not be confused with the " far side " as they are only the same during a full moon .
The phase in which the moon is not visible from earth is called the "new" moon. It happens when the moon is aligned between the sun and the earth (every 28 days), which causes the side of the moon that we usually see to be in shadow.
one side of the moon receives light from the sun and the other will never get light..that side is called the dark side of the moon..so yes the moon is dark and also receives sunlight...(the moon does not make any of its own light)
The Other Side of the Moon - anthology - was created in 1949.
Yes, the other side of the moon is not always dark. It experiences day and night just like the side of the moon facing Earth. The term "dark side of the moon" refers to the side that is not visible from Earth, not to the side that is always in darkness.
The hemisphere of the Moon that always faces the Earth is known as the in close proximity to side of the Moon. Further it is called as far side of the Moon and in the past referred to as the dark side of the Moon.
The Moon has no faces. It has one side facing Earth called the near side, and one side that is always facing away called the far side.
