What else can I help you with?
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

The moon rotates as fast as it orbits the earth, thus only one side faces it.
What part of the moon is always in sunlight?
The part of the moon that is always in sunlight is the "near side" of the moon, which faces Earth and receives light from the sun. This is the side that we see from Earth, as the moon rotates at the same rate that it orbits Earth, keeping the same side facing us.
What is the name of the planet on the side of the moon?
The moon orbits the Earth
What orbits around the earth but stays in the corner?
The Moon orbits around the Earth while appearing to stay in a fixed position in the night sky, depending on the observer's location. This illusion is created by the Moon's synchronous rotation, where one side always faces Earth.
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.
What do you call the Moon's surface that faces 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.
What do you call the side of the moon that never faces the earth?
Dark side of the moon.
Does the moon have day and night if so why?
Just like the earth, the moon has a side that faces the sun (day) and a side that faces away from the sun (night). During a full moon, the side of the moon that faces the earth is lit by the sun and appears in daylight whereas the side of the moon that faces away from the earth is in shadow (night). During a new moon, the opposite is true. The side of the moon that faces the earth is in shadow (night) and the side that faces away from the earth is exposed to the sun (day).
As the moon orbits the earth do you see more than one side of the moon?
No.
How many faces are on 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.
What is the hemisphere of the Moon that always faces the Earth called?
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.
