Because the moon doesn't spin on its axis's [doesn't have one] it is just a satellite around earth.
Our moon is tidally locked with the earth . Because of this tidal friction it takes just as long to rotate around its own axis as it does to revolve around the earth . The synchronicity of this rotation causes the lunar hemisphere we see from this planet to always be the same one . The hemisphere that's always turned away from us is called the "far side " of the moon . The hemisphere that's not illuminated by our sun is called the " dark side " of the moon and should not be confused with the " far side " as they are only the same during a full moon .
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.
The moon rotates and revolves at the same rate
They're not. Anybody, at any time, in either hemisphere, standing anywhere on the half of the earth that can see the moon, and facing the moon, sees exactly the same shape. ============================================== Another contributor disagreed. Quite viscerally, in fact. Here's what remains after cleaning it up: People in the Northern hemisphere see the "OPPOSITE" moon phase to people in the Southern Hemisphere. Also in the N. Hemisphere the moon phases change from right to left while in the S. Hemisphere the moon phases go from left to right...
do you mean Erus
the same

The moon does not rotate so on Earth we always see the same side no matter where the observer is.

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, we always do.
no such thing
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 !
the reason you only see one side of the moon is because the rotation of the moon and the revolution speed of the moon are the same
Yes. Because of its locked orbit, the same side of the moon always faces the Earth.
