Do all earth hemispheres see the same side of the moon?
As long as you're on Earth, you will always see the same side of the moon. This is because the moon is tidally locked with the earth, meaning is rotational period is the same as its revolutionary period. This allows us to always see the same side of the moon, no matter where on earth we are.
What is true about the moon's orbit around Earth?
The moon's orbital period is the same as its rotational period, so the same side of the moon always faces the earth.
A solar eclipse can only happen during a new moon?
That is because the Moon has to be between the Sun and the Earth, to cover the Sun from our point of view. When this happens, we see the dark side of the Moon - i.e., it is new moon.That is because the Moon has to be between the Sun and the Earth, to cover the Sun from our point of view.

Why do we only see the ''near side'' of the moon and never the far side?
The moon spins at the same speed that it orbits the earth so we always see the same side.
Does the same side of Venus always face earth?
Yes. The moon is tidally locked to the earth, so that whether the moon is new, waxing, full, or waning, we always see the same side.
When does full moon happens?
When the side of the moon that faces Earth (the same side of the moon always faces Earth) is fully bathed in sunlight. The Moon experiences day and night cycles, but it takes 28 days for the moon to complete a day/night cycle because of the Moon's relatively slow spin (which is what keeps the same side of the Moon facing Earth).

Does the earth see only one side of the moon?
No. The amount of the Moon visible from the Earth varies, depending on the phase of the Moon. At Full Moon, you see nearly all of the Moon's illuminated side. At New Moon, you see nearly none of it. At Quarter Moon, you see about half of it.

What happens on the side of earth opposite of the moon?
Its daytime over there.
What type of moon is it when the moon and sun are on the same side of Earth?
It is a new moon.
What side of the moon do you see from earth?
You always see the same side - as the moon takes the same time to orbit the earth as it does to rotate once on its axis !
At what point in the moon's orbit does the full moon occur?
It happens when the moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun.
When the moon and the sun are on the same side of earth what phase is this?
it is a new moon
Why can you not stand on earth and see the far side of the moon?
The Moon is tidally locked to Earth; the Moon's "day" and the Moon's month are the same length. So the "near side" of the Moon always faces the Earth, and the "far side" always faces away from Earth.
Which occurs when the moon spins on its axis at the same rate it orbits the earth?
The same side of the moon always faces the Earth
Do you see the same side of the moon?
Yes. Because of its locked orbit, the same side of the moon always faces the Earth.
