Oh, that's a wonderful question, friend! Unfortunately, we can't see the dark side of the moon from Earth because it always faces away from us. But don't worry, there's still so much beauty and wonder to be found on the side that we can see - it's all a part of the amazing dance of our cosmos. Happy little moons out there.
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.
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.
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 :(
The "near" side of the moon is the side that always faces Earth. The "far" side of the moon can only be seen from space. The dark side of the moon is the title of a Pink Floyd album. There is no side of the moon that is always dark.
Ah, the dark side of the moon isn't actually always dark, just not visible from Earth. You can see it when the moon is in its "new" phase, meaning the sun is illuminating the side away from us. Just like with anything in nature, there's beauty to be found in the hidden and mysterious places too. Just a happy little fact to brighten your day.

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.

It is in shadow, and so is too dark to see.Some people use "dark side of the Moon" to mean "Far side of the Moon". I guess they figure that since we can't see the back side from Earth, it must be always dark there! But in real life, in the course of a lunar day, both sides get sunlight.AnswerWe can't see the far side of the moon because it is tidally locked with the earth. This means that the speed at which the moon rotates around its axis and the speed at which it orbits the earth are the same, so the same side of the moon constantly faces the earth. But the far side isn't always dark.
Ah, what a lovely question! We can't see the dark side of the moon from Earth. The moon's rotation is synced with its orbit, meaning we only see one side from our planet. In a way, it's like a happy little dance between Earth and the moon.
The dark side of the moon much like pink. Floyd sings about
A2. The Moon keeps one side locked towards Earth. Thus whether it were illuminated or not, we can never see the far side of the Moon.Incidentally, there is a marvellous movie of the complete Lunar cycle under Moon/Tidal effects in Wikipedia.A1. The sun casts a light on one side of the moon and the other side is a dark shadow. So if there is a half moon, for example, from earth, we can see half of the lighted side and half of the dark side, which makes it look like the moon is cut in half. Since the Earth rotates, we can see a different side every night, and that's how we can see more or less of the lighted side of the moon. For a new moon, Earth can see the whole dark side and none of the lighted side. For a full moon, Earth can see the whole lighted side and none of the dark side.
We on earth always see the same face of the moon, but the "dark side" of the moon is not always dark. For example, in a lunar eclipse, the back side of the moon is receiving all of the sunlight, while the side facing us receives none.
