When sunlight shines on far side of the moon. this is called?
This phenomenon is called a "lunar sunrise." It occurs when sunlight illuminates the far side of the moon as seen from Earth.
What is it called when sunlight shines on the far side of the moon?
Crescent moon OR new moon. Actually any time except a full moon.
What moon phase is it when the moon's sunlight is on the far side of the moon?
When the moon's sunlight is on the far side, it is in the New Moon phase. During this phase, the side of the moon facing Earth is not illuminated, making the moon nearly invisible in the night sky. This occurs when the moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun.
What happens when sun shines on the far side of the moon?
Nothing special or unusual happens. Daylight moves around the moon the same way that it moves around the earth and other planets/moons in the solar system. The more of the far side is illuminated by the sun, the less is illuminated of the side that we see. -------------------------------------- This configuration is called a"new moon".
Does the far side of the moon face the sun?
Yes, the far side of the Moon does receive sunlight, just like the near side. The Moon is tidally locked to Earth, meaning it rotates on its axis in the same amount of time it takes to orbit Earth, resulting in the same side always facing our planet. However, as the Moon orbits Earth, the far side experiences day and night cycles, with sunlight illuminating it during its lunar day.
What moon phase is it when when sunlight shines on far side of moon.?
A new moon.
What moon phase happens when sunlight shines on far side of moon.?
At New Moon the dark side is turned towards us and the Sun shines on the opposite side.

Why does the far side of the moon actually receive slightly more sunlight than the side of the moon which faces earth?
The far side of the moon receives slightly more sunlight because it is never subject to a terrestrial eclipse (such as the shadow of the earth on the moon). However, while the far side does receive more direct sunlight. the near side, which faces Earth is more luminous due to the reflected sunlight from the Earth back to the moon. so in short answer, the far side receives more direct sunlight, but the near side is more luminous.

Why is one side of the moon called the daark side of the moon?
The term "dark side of the moon" is a misnomer as all sides of the moon receive sunlight. The far side of the moon is often referred to as the "far side" because it faces away from Earth and is not visible from our vantage point.

Does the far side of the moon receive any light from the moon?
every side of the moon eventually gets sunlight, because the moon revolves around Earth and Earth revolves around the sun. but only half of the moon if ever lit at a time, and the light goes around the moon
Does the far side of the Moon receive any light?
The "nearside" of the Moon also receives Earthshine, sunlight reflected from the Earth which then hits the Moon. The full Earth is about 10 times brighter than the full moon!
What moon features exists on the dark and light areas of the moon?
All of them. The Moon does not have a "dark side" and a "light side". It does have a "nearside" and a 'far side", but the Moon has 29 day cycles of sunlight and night - except that on the night side of the Moon, it is illuminated by the nearly full Earth.
What moon feature exists on both dark and light area of the moon?
All of them. The Moon does not have a "dark side" and a "light side". It does have a "nearside" and a 'far side", but the Moon has 29 day cycles of sunlight and night - except that on the night side of the Moon, it is illuminated by the nearly full Earth.
