The moon spins at the same speed that it orbits the earth so we always see the same side. Some believe it is because the earths gravity is always pulling on the heaviest part of the moon, the side we see, but that's just a theory.
I think you meant moon. Its because the moon rotaes at the same speed it revolves around earth. So you can only see one side of it from earth.
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.
Yes it is true we only see one side of the moon. We only see one side of the moon because the moon rotates around the Earth at the exact same speed as it rotates around its own axis, so that the same side of the moon is constantly facing the surface of the earth. This means that one full 'day' of the moon (meaning the length of time it takes for the moon to rotate around itself once) is about 4 weeks long. If the moon didn't rotate at all, we would see all of its sides; the only way for us to see such a constant face of the moon is if it's also rotating.
Well, honey, if the Moon decided to show off and spin as fast as Earth, then yes, we would see different sides of the Moon from Earth. But let's be real, the Moon is just too lazy to do that, so we're stuck with its one pretty face staring back at us.
This is because the rotation of the moon is equal to it's orbit around the earth. That is: it takes the moon 28 days to make a full orbit around the earth, and 28 days to make a full rotation. As a result, the same side of the moon is always facing earth.
No.

No because you are standing on a angle on the moon so you would not see more than one side of the earth
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.
We only see one side of the moon from Earth, a phenomenon known as tidal locking. This means that the same side of the moon always faces Earth due to its synchronous rotation with its orbit around Earth.
cuz you have to be in like china to see the other side ;-)
The "near" side of the moon is the side that always faces Earth. The "far" side of the moon can only be seen from space. The dark side of the moon is the title of a Pink Floyd album. There is no side of the moon that is always dark.
you could see the halve of one side. But on the other side its pitch black. sun never shines in the other side of the moon
The one that you can see. Due to libation we can see slightly more than 50% of the moon from earth.
The same side of the moon always faces Earth due to its synchronous rotation, called tidal locking. This means that the moon's rotation period matches its orbital period around Earth, causing one side to always be facing us while the other side remains hidden from view.
That isn't the answer. The reason why only one side of the moon is visible from the surface of the Earth is that the moon always keeps one side facing the Earth, which requires it to rotate once for each revolution of its orbit.
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.
