Why do we see the same face of moon always?
We always see the same face of the Moon because it is tidally locked to Earth. This means that the Moon's rotation period on its axis is the same as its orbital period around Earth, taking about 27.3 days to complete both. As a result, the same side, known as the near side, is always facing our planet, while the far side remains hidden from view.
What would be the result of the moon not having different moon phases?
Well, there wouldn't be moon calendars which we're inspired by Islam. We wouldn't have Ramadan, there would be no folklore about werewolves coming out at full moon, the date of Easter would always be on the same day every year, there wouldn't be songs about crescent moons and full moons and the Turkish flag wouldn't have a crescent moon on it.

What are some facts about the crescent moon?
The crescent moon is no different than the regular moon itself. It is just a phase. The reason we see it this way is because a moon year and a moon day is the same number of earth hours, so we see the same side of the moon year around.
Why do you always see one face of the moon Do all countries see the same face?
The moon does not rotate so on Earth we always see the same side no matter where the observer is.
Why is one face of the moon always seen?
This is because the moon's rotation on its own axis exactly matches its rotation around the earth, meaning the same face of the moon is always facing the earth
Why do astronomers on earth always see the same side of the moon?
15 days one side 15 days other No it's always the same face. Because the moon spins on its axis exactly once per its orbit of the earth. It's a tidal friction effect. In zillions of year's time the same face of the earth will always face the moon also.
Do people of different side of globe see same face of moon?

Your moon always shows the same face to the earth?
The moon always shows the same face to the Earth due to its synchronous rotation, meaning it takes the same amount of time to rotate on its axis as it does to orbit the Earth. This synchronization occurs because of the gravitational forces between the Earth and the moon.
Why do you see the same side of the moon every day?
The moon rotates in the same direction as its orbit. The rate of rotation is such that the same face is always pointing at the earth.
Is the moon always the shape of a circle?
The moon is a sphere. It is illuminated in our night sky when the sun shines on it. The sun always illuminates the same side of the moon. The moon's apparent shape - the shape we see - the part which is illuminated ranges from a left-facing thin crescent to a full circle to a right-facing thin crescent. This is because, due to the rotation of the earth, we are not always facing head-on to the side which is illuminated.

24hoursAs the moon always shows the same face to the Earth, would not a day on the moon be infinitely long?
Why does the same side of the moon always face the earthy?
The Moon always faces the same side because its gravity with Earth makes it pull around us. When you see half of the Moon its because of the way Earth is rotating or how the Moon is positioned.
