simply beceause it's dark. The moon is bright because the sun's light is reflecting it. Which is why all the planets are half light, and half dark. why we have might and day, the earth rotates and the sun reflects it's light off the side the earth is facing.

∙ 15y agoDetails of the International Space Station, several hundred miles above, can be seen with a telescope a few inches across here on Earth. But the Moon is a thousand times farther away, so it would take a much larger scope. The details of man's activity on the Moon, seen from here on Earth, 240,000 miles away, are just too tiny to see with the largest scopes. It would take a telescope several thousand inches across to see a lunar lander on the moon, and even larger ones for things like lunar rovers, flags, or other items or footprints.

∙ 13y agoTidal forces between earth and the moon have slowed the moon's rotation in a manner that causes the same side of the moon to always be facing earth.

Why is there a near side and a far side of the moon?
We only ever see the same side of the moon. The other side is called the far side or "the dark side of the moon"
Why are there two craters on the far side of the moon?
There can be craters anywhere on the moon, not just the side we see
How often do yo see the far side of the moon?
Only 21 people have ever seen the far side of the Moon; they are all the Apollo astronauts. Since nobody has gone to the Moon in the last 45 years, most people NEVER see the far side of the Moon.
When did you see the dark side of the moon?
you see the dark side of the moon when you see half the moon. because there is always a full moon but you only see some of it exept when there is a full moon
How often do you see the far of the moon?
You never see the far side of the moon. Somewhat coincidently the moon has an angular rotation as the earths rotation, and therefore the same side of the moon is always facing earth. The far side is never seen. To the extent that the rotations are not exact, there may be a slight variation over many, many years.

When the moon is in its new phase what can you infer about the opposite side of the moon?
The far side of the moon is always opposite of the visible side. When the moon is new, it is between the Sun and the earth. Since we see the dark side of the moon, the opposite side must be fully lit by the sun. Likewise when we see a gibbous moon, the far side would be a crescent. When we see a full moon, the far side is in complete darkness.

What is the other side of the moon that you cannot see called?
The 'Far Side'
Is the Moon's dark side the far side?
No. The far side of the moon is usually partially illuminated by the sun and is only completely dark during the full moon. The far side of the moon is fully lit during the new moon phase. It is called the "dark" side of the moon because we never see it.
When is the dark side of the moon also the far side of the moon?
No. The far side of the moon is usually partially illuminated by the sun and is only completely dark during the full moon. The far side of the moon is fully lit during the new moon phase. It is called the "dark" side of the moon because we never see it.
When did you see the dark side of the moon?
you see the dark side of the moon when you see half the moon. because there is always a full moon but you only see some of it exept when there is a full moon
Why can you not see the new moon?
We only see the Moon because it reflects light from the Sun. During a new moon, the far side is illuminated, and the near side is not.
Is the far side of the moon ever dark?
Yes. The far side of the moon is dark when we see a full moon. It is partially dark at all phases other than the new moon.
Why do you never see the far side of the moon?
You never see the far side of the moon because the moon rotates around Earth much, much faster than it revolves on it's axis. Hope this helped!
How far do you have to be to see whole side of earth?
you have to be near the moon
