Why do you see one side of the moon during a full moon?
half of the moon is called the dark side and we never see it.
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".
Why is one side of the moon called the dark side of the moon-?
The "dark" side of the Moon is not a side that's permanently dark, but simply the side - about one half of the Moon - that we can never see from Earth. It's better to call it the "far side" of the Moon. Why the far side is sometimes called the "dark side" is probably just a misunderstanding. Also, it may be to do with the idea that the far side is more "mysterious". Each place on the Moon receives sunlight during the course of a month, as the Moon goes through its phases.
Does the moon have both sun light and darkness?
one side of the moon receives light from the sun and the other will never get light..that side is called the dark side of the moon..so yes the moon is dark and also receives sunlight...(the moon does not make any of its own light)
Where is the dark side of the moon as it moves to full?
From Earth, you can only see ONE side of the moon. And that is the same side that has been facing us for as long as I can remember. The moon does not rotate its face. I'm afraid you can't ever see the dark side of moon from Earth :(

Why one side of the moon called the dark side of moon?
There are two reasons: 1. At any given time, one side of the Moon is dark because it's facing away from the Sun. 2. The rotation of the Moon in relation to its orbit around the Earth keeps the same side always facing the Earth. We NEVER see the other side.
Why does the moon have a dark side but the earth doesn't?
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.

What is the ''dark side of the moon''?
The side in which the moon has least light. ------------------- I believe the phrase typically refers to the far side of the moon, as the "dark side" is not one fixed location. As it moves, the plane of light moves across it just like on earth. The moon is in a state of synchronous rotation with the earth, with both one revolution and one rotation taking the same amount of time; 1 month. As such, the same side of the moon is always facing earth. The side that faces away is the far side, often referred to incorrectly as the dark side.
What is the side of the moon called that never faces the earth?
The side that's visible.
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.
Why does the moon have a dark side but earth doesn't?
I may not be right but I think because the moon moves it makes a dark side on the earth so the earth does not need one. Also one side if the earth can not be dark all the time!! The. It would be might all the time!
