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.

∙ 13y agoThe "dark side of the Moon" refers to the side of the Moon which is dark; as in, not in the sunlight. At the "new moon", the entire visible face of the Moon is "the dark side of the Moon".
Using the phrase "dark side of the Moon" to refer to the FAR side of the Moon signifies intellectual laziness.

Can you see the earth if you are standing on the moon?
The moon always keeps the same "side" ... about half of its surface ... facing the earth.If you're standing anywhere on that side of the moon, the earth is always in the sky, (thoughit might not necessarily be visible, if, for example, there's a mountain in the way).If you're standing anywhere on the other side, the earth is never in the sky.

Can you see the occurrence of the eclipse standing on a moon?
You could. It will completely darken the Moon. Not like on Earth, a light and a dark side.
If standing on the surface of the moon might see which one what an eclipse of the moon or eclipse of the earth or the moon or an eclipse of the sun or eclipse of the earth or the sun?
If you were standing on the Moon, it would be easy to notice a solar eclipse; the Earth would block out the Sun, all over the Moon, for an hour or so. On the Earth, we would have called it a lunar eclipse. From the Moon, it would be difficult to notice an Earth eclipse; the shadow of the Moon on the Earth, so obvious when you're in the dark at midday, wouldn't be so obvious from 250K miles away; a small dark circle on the Earth.
Why is it a full moon in a solar eclipse?
It isn't; it's a new (or dark) moon. You're standing on the Earth in the daytime on a sunny day. The sun goes dark for a few minutes because the moon is between you and the sun. Full moon is high in the sky at midnight.
When your friends back on Earth see the moon in its full phase in what phase would you see the earth if you are standing on the side of the moon facing the earth?
