Why not? If they happen to be more or less in the same direction, you'll see both.

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.


Why people see the same side of the moon?

Just like the sun the moon rises and sets...so as the earth rotates you see the same moon and the same sun it's just when the sun is on one part of the earth you see the moon and vice versa..... Comment: I can't say that helps much, but I will not delete that answer. This is my answer: People see the same side of the Moon because gravity has locked the Moon's rotation period at the same length of time as the time the Moon takes to complete one orbit of the Earth. If you think about it, that means we must always see the same side of the Moon.

What would result if the moon as on the same side of the earth as the sun?

When the moon is on the same side of earth as the sun ... in the same direction ... then we look up at the moon's un-illuminated side. We can't see any of it at all, and we call it the "New Moon" phase. If the moon is exactly lined up with the sun at that time ... not above or below it in the sky ... then it blocks the sun from our view, and we have a solar eclipse.
