Earth does have a dark side. When you are on that dark side it is called night. Both Earth and the moon get their light from the sun. Since they are both spherical and there is only one sun in our solar system, the sun can only light up half of each object at a time.

However, since the moon keeps the same face toward the Earth, if you are not on the side facing Earth, you will not see the Earth at all.

Is the near side of the moon the dark side?
"the near side of moon is not dark" this is not entirely correct answer. there are infact many times when the near side of the moon is dark throughout the year. the moon has day and night cycles aswell as other forms of darkness. first off, a full moon seen on earth is when the sun shines light on the moon without the earth being in the way to cast a shadow on the surface. however a Crescent Moon is the moon being partially shadowed by the earth, so the near side is actually dark because the earth is blocking out the sun light to it. also depending on the position of the moon the far side gets the light and the near side wont. this is because the sun is stationary and the moon goes around the earth. there will always be a light side and dark side of the moon just like there is on earth a day and night but you have to remember that its not night all around earth at the same time, same goes for the moon. also the dark side of the moon generally refers to the far side, which is not always dark.
why is one side of the moon called "the dark side of the moon "?
It is called the dark side of the moon because it never faces the earth, this is caused by the fact that the moon's rotation is the same number of days as it's revolution around the earth. Even though it is called the dark side of the moon it still is as bright as the front side. __________________________ There is no "dark side of the Moon"; the entire Moon has a day-night cycle of 29 days. The Moon always has the "Man in the Moon" face turned toward the Earth, and the other, hidden side is the "far side of the Moon".
