Why is there always a dark side of the moon?
The phenomenon of the "dark side of the moon" is not due to the moon being dark, but rather to the fact that the same side of the moon always faces the Earth. This is because the moon's rotation period is the same as its orbit period, a phenomenon known as synchronous rotation. The far side of the moon is not always dark but is simply hidden from view from Earth.

This causes different portions of the illuminated side to be visible from Earth, resulting in the various phases of the moon.
