Oh, that's an interesting question. Every once in a rare while, we can catch a glimpse of the far side of the moon thanks to the tilt and movement of the moon in its orbit. It's like when a soft breeze gently moves a tree, revealing a hidden bird nest within its branches - nature loves to show us its beautiful secrets.

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 :(

Which side is the so called dark side of the moon?

The dark side of the moon refers to the side of the moon that is not visible from Earth due to synchronous rotation, not because it is always dark. Both sides of the moon receive sunlight, but we only see one side from Earth.


Could you see earth if you were standing on the dark side of the moon?

If you look down, you will see the surface of the moon. If you look up, you will be able to see other celestial bodies in the sky, such as Earth, stars, other planets, etc., as long as they are not currently below the horizon of the moon. 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 far side of the moon ever dark?

Yes. The far side of the moon is dark when we see a full moon. It is partially dark at all phases other than the new moon.


Why do you have the saying the dark side of the moon?

The moon rotates in unison with the earth, so we only ever see one side of it. So no matter where you are on the globe, you ALWAYS see the same face of the moon. That is the "lit" side of the moon. The "dark side" (in quotes because it actually isn't always dark, we just don't ever see it), is the side that we do not see, because it is always tilted away from us. Having said that, the expression, "dark side of the moon," often refers to a very mysterious object or something unfamiliar that a person hasn't experienced before.

Do the moon have dark side?

Actually no. Because we cannot see the back side of the moon. But it is not always in dark. Sun can shine on it too

Is the Moon's dark side the far side?

No. The far side of the moon is usually partially illuminated by the sun and is only completely dark during the full moon. The far side of the moon is fully lit during the new moon phase. It is called the "dark" side of the moon because we never see it.


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.


What does “The Dark Side of the Moon” mean?

Literally there is a far side of the moon being the side we don't see from Earth. But it's not always dark. You will notice you can always see the same craters on the moon every night from where you live, you never get to see the other side.Abstractly it could mean the side we see is referred to as 'good' and the other side 'evil' so the dark side of the moon is referring to opposite of its good counterpart.


When is the dark side of the moon also the far side of the moon?

No. The far side of the moon is usually partially illuminated by the sun and is only completely dark during the full moon. The far side of the moon is fully lit during the new moon phase. It is called the "dark" side of the moon because we never see it.
