Why do you se only one side of the moon?
The reason you only see one side of the moon is because you only see side of the moon is facing towards the Earth which means the back of the moon is nonvisible.
Why you can see only one side of moon?
The moon rotates on it's axis within the same period of time the moon orbits the earth, therefore only the "near side" of the moon can be seen from Earth. Technically the moon's "year" and the moon's "day" are equal length.
Is this the answer the moon unlike the earth does not rotate so you see the same side of the moon?
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.
Why can you only see one side of the Moon's from earth?
cuz you have to be in like china to see the other side ;-)
Does the sun and moon show together in the same sky?
There is only one sky
Why do you se only one side of the moon?
The reason you only see one side of the moon is because you only see side of the moon is facing towards the Earth which means the back of the moon is nonvisible.
Does only one side of the moon face the earth?
Yes only one side of the moon is always facing the earth.
Why you always look at the same side of moon?
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
Why is it that you cannot see the other side of the moon from 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.
Is it known where the axis of the moon is?
There is no know axis of the moon because we have only been on one side of the moon
Why do you see one side of the moon and never see the other side?
because the light reflects on the moon and we only see the lighted side
Do you only see one side od the moon?
Yes.
Can the moon turn?
Yes it can, and it does. The moon rotates once every revolution, which is how we only see one side of the moon.
What does everyone is a moon and has a dark side which he never show to anybody mean?
This sentence is a metaphor comparing people to the moon. The moon rotates just enough so that only one side ever faces the Earth. The side that we cannot see is known as the dark side of the moon. This sentence is saying that like the moon, people often have a side of them that people do not see. It suggests that this side of people is dark and filled with secrets that the person does not wish others to see.
What does the moon is bigger than eye can see mean?
One man is only capable of seeing one side of the moon at a time, and only astronauts have seen the side that faces away from Earth.
Why is one side of the moon call the Darkside of the moon?
Well, technically the phrase "dark side" of the Moon is only half-correct. The Moon's hemispheres are divided into the near side and the far side, and both of these sides receive the same amount of sunlight. We, however, from the point of view of the Earth, only ever see one side of the moon. This is due to the influence of the Earth's gravitational forces on the Moon's irregular shape; this tug gradually reduced the rotational period of the moon until it was the same as its orbit. Because the Moon's gravitational influence is not enough to change the Earth's rotational frequency (only cause the tides), it does not have the same effect. Thus, we only see one side of the Moon, leaving the other side a mysterious "dark side."
Why do you see only one side of the moo from eart?
The moon rotates as fast as it orbits the earth, thus only one side faces it.
