First of all the earth is on an axis that slowly spins everyday. making it impossible for both sides to have the sun on all of it everyday. Second is that we rotate around the sun so only one part can have the sun on it. The way sunsets and sunrises come up are because the earth is turning making us see part of the sun but not all of it. That is also why we have seasons and why there are different time zones. It is because the earth is always turning. Take your hand for instance if you tilt it to the side and go outside, only one part of your hand will have sun on it. If you turn your hand some than a different part of your hand has sun that is kind of how the earth works.

Can everybody see a lunar eclipse at the same time?
No, just as in a solar eclipse, the sun, earth and moon are in different positions depending on where you are on the earth. If we could all see it at the same time that would mean we would all be in the same exact spot on the earth.
Why can't i see the moon at the same time in the same place everyday?
because of the rotation of the moon. it rotates around the earth, so part of the time we can not notice all of the moon
Do we always see the same of the moon?
Pretty much. The moon keeps the same face turned towards Earth all the time, though it "wobbles" a bit so it's possible to see a bit over half its surface from Earth (not all at the same time, of course), but about 40% of the far side had never been seen until the Soviet Union sent a lunar orbiter up in the 1960s and took pictures.
Do you always see the same side of the moon from eath?
The answer is yes. We always see the same side of the moon from the Earth because the time it takes the moon to circle the Sun is the same as the time it takes to circle itself.
Do all places on earth have the same daytime?
No, there is something called "Time Zones". Go to http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/ to see the current times in certain places.

Do all parts of the earth see the same stars at the same time?
No, because one part is at day-time, they cannot see any stars. If they could, they would see different stars, for they are on the opposite side of Earth.
Would an observer from Earth see all the planets rotate backwards at one point?
Not at the same time, no.
Is it possible to see the whole Earth on a sphere?
simple answer. No. The explanation is simple really. Hold something spherical and see if you can see all of it at the same time.
Why do you see the same face of the moon all the time?
Because it rotates around its own axis at the same rate as it rotates around the Earth.
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 !
Why can't i see the moon at the same time in the same place everyday?
because of the rotation of the moon. it rotates around the earth, so part of the time we can not notice all of the moon
Why we can't all sides of the moon?
The MOON rotates on it axis, but slowly, in about the same time it takes Earth to rotate on its own, about 27 days. That's why you always see the same side of the Moon.........CORRECT ANSWER:The moon doesnt rotate as it revolves around the earth, so we see the same side from the earth all the time. It wasnt until the late 1960's that we were able to send a spacecraft around the moon and see the dark side of the moon.
What is the back of the moon called?
It is sometimes called the dark side of the moon. It isn't really dark all the time, either. It's just that we never see it from earth. The same side of the moon faces the earth all the time.
Some satellites orbit every 24 hours if you could see this satellite from the ground with a telescope what would you notice?
You would see the satellite in the same direction all the time. The satellite is supposed to move around the Earth at the same speed as Earth's rotation.
Does the Moon make a full rotation?
Yes, it rotates once with each orbit of the earth. That is why we see the same side of the moon all the time.
Do all people on earth see the same side of the moon?
Yes.
