The moon is tidally locked with the earth. The reason is that the moon is slightly heavier on one side than the other. Due to tidal friction, the moon's rotation (with respect to earth) would have gradually slowed over the eons, so that eventually it would lock in resonance with the earth. The moon probably became tidally locked more than a billion years ago, long before any life on earth evolved eyes. Therefore the distant side of the moon remained unknown until we sent orbiters around it to snap photos. I believe the Russians succeeded at this first.
What else can I help you with?
Do people of different side of globe see same face of moon?
Yes. The moon spins at just the right speed so that the same face always faced the Earth.
What is the reason why the same side of the moon always faces the earth?
The same side of the moon always faces the earth because of a phenomenon called tidal locking, where the moon's rotation period is the same as its orbit around the earth. This causes one side of the moon to always be facing towards the earth.
Is the moon always the same?
What on earth (or rather the moon) is that supposed to mean?!
Which occurs when the moon spins on its axis at the same rate it orbits the earth?
The same side of the moon always faces the Earth
Do all earth hemispheres see the same side of the moon?
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.
Do you always see the same side of the moon from eath?
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 can we always see the same side of the moon from earth?
The moon rotates and revolves at the same rate
The same side of the moon always faces what?
The Earth.
Why does the same side of the moon always face Earth?
The same side of the moon always faces Earth because of a phenomenon called synchronous rotation. This means that the moon's rotation period is the same as its orbital period around Earth, causing one side to always be facing us.
Why does the same side of the moon always face the Earth?
The same side of the moon always faces the Earth because of a phenomenon called synchronous rotation. This means that the moon's rotation period is the same as its orbital period around the Earth, causing one side to always be facing us.
Since the moon always keeps the same side facing earth does it rotates on its on axis?
Yes, it rotates at the same rate it orbits the Earth.
Why do we always see the same side of the moon from the earth?
Because the moon turns as it goes around the Earth.
