How many faces are on the moon?
The Moon has no faces. It has one side facing Earth called the near side, and one side that is always facing away called the far side.
Why is one side of the moon light and the other side dark?
Because one side of the moon faces the Sun, whereas the other side of the moon faces away from the Sun and no other star is near to cast a significant amount of light on that surface. Furthermore, without an atmosphere to reflect and refract light, the line of demarcation between light and dark is very sharp. In addition, the rotation of the Moon is such that the same side always faces the Earth!
What is the side of the moon called that never faces the earth?
The side that's visible.
Why does only one side of the moon always faces toward the Earth while the other side always faces away from the Earth?
Because the time periods of the moon's rotation and revolution are exactly equal.
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.
Explain why one side of the moon always faces toward the Earth while the other side always faces away form the Earth.?
It's watching us!
The Moon's near side always faces earth due to what?
The Moon's near side always faces Earth due to synchronous rotation, which means it takes the same amount of time for the Moon to rotate once on its axis as it does to orbit Earth. This causes one side of the Moon to always be facing us.
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.
Does the moon spin on axes?
Yes, the moon rotates aound it's axis, but it doees that in the same time as it orbits our planet - this is why only one side of the moon faces us (the near side).
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 called the daark side of the moon?
The term "dark side of the moon" is a misnomer as all sides of the moon receive sunlight. The far side of the moon is often referred to as the "far side" because it faces away from Earth and is not visible from our vantage point.
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.
