Why does the far side of the moon actually receive slightly more sunlight than the side of the moon which faces earth?

The far side of the moon receives slightly more sunlight because it is never subject to a terrestrial eclipse (such as the shadow of the earth on the moon). However, while the far side does receive more direct sunlight. the near side, which faces Earth is more luminous due to the reflected sunlight from the Earth back to the moon. so in short answer, the far side receives more direct sunlight, but the near side is more luminous.
