For the most part yes. This is because the Moon rotates on its axis in the same time as it takes to make one orbit of Earth. This means that the same face of the Moon is always facing the Earth We should therefore only be able to see 50% of the Moons surface, however, the Moon wobbles as bit as it orbits the earth (a feature called libration - see the link I will place below) and this allows us to see round the sides of the moon for a little bit, giving us a view of 59% of its surface.
What else can I help you with?
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.
When the moon and sun are on the opposite sides of earth and on the same line then what may you see?
You will definitely see a New Moon, and you may see a Solar Eclipse, depending on the relative positions of the Sun and Moon, and your location on the Earth.
What is the name of the side of the moon that we don't see the dark side?
The Moon spins at the same rate that it orbits the Earth, keeping one face turned toward the Earth. The terms "near side" and "far side" are correct to describe the two sides of the Moon. Until the Soviet Luna 3 satellite orbited the Moon in 1959, we had no clue what the far side of the Moon looked like.
Can you see the moon and the sun at the same time?
It is not possible to see the moon and the sun at the same time since they are located on opposite sides of the sky. The moon is visible mainly at night when the sun has set, and the sun is visible during the day when the moon is not usually visible.

How could you see all sides of the moon?
Fly around it.
Do you see different sides of the moon as the phases of the moon?
No, we see the same side of the moon as it orbits and goes through phases because the moon rotates at the same rate it orbits.
Why does the moon have a dark side when viewed from earth?
Because the bright and dark sides are caused by what direction the sun is shining on the moon. We see the sun from a different angle and so see it as have light and dark sides.

Why do tides appear at both sides of the earth?
It is the effect of the moon's gravity on earth's oceans.
What is the ability to see both sides of a subject?
objective
How much affect does the moon have on plate tectonics?
My opinion is very little. The Moon's gravity pulls uniformly on both sides of a tectonic plate.
