Is the moon always dark?
No, the moon is not always dark. The moon shines because it reflects sunlight that falls on its surface. However, the moon does have phases where it appears to be dark, such as during a new moon when the side facing Earth is not illuminated by the sun.
Why is the moon dark?
The moon appears dark because it does not produce its own light. Instead, it reflects light from the sun, and when it is not illuminated by the sun, it appears dark to us on Earth. This is why we see different phases of the moon as it orbits our planet.
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.
What phase of the moon appears completely dark when observed from Earth?
The new moon phase appears completely dark when observed from Earth because the side of the moon illuminated by the sun is facing away from us. This means that no sunlight is reaching the side of the moon that we can see, making it invisible to us.
Is the near side of the moon the dark side?
"the near side of moon is not dark" this is not entirely correct answer. there are infact many times when the near side of the moon is dark throughout the year. the moon has day and night cycles aswell as other forms of darkness. first off, a full moon seen on earth is when the sun shines light on the moon without the earth being in the way to cast a shadow on the surface. however a Crescent Moon is the moon being partially shadowed by the earth, so the near side is actually dark because the earth is blocking out the sun light to it. also depending on the position of the moon the far side gets the light and the near side wont. this is because the sun is stationary and the moon goes around the earth. there will always be a light side and dark side of the moon just like there is on earth a day and night but you have to remember that its not night all around earth at the same time, same goes for the moon. also the dark side of the moon generally refers to the far side, which is not always dark.
In a lunar eclispe the Earth is between the moon and what?

You cant see the dark side of the moon because?
It is in shadow, and so is too dark to see.Some people use "dark side of the Moon" to mean "Far side of the Moon". I guess they figure that since we can't see the back side from Earth, it must be always dark there! But in real life, in the course of a lunar day, both sides get sunlight.AnswerWe can't see the far side of the moon because it is tidally locked with the earth. This means that the speed at which the moon rotates around its axis and the speed at which it orbits the earth are the same, so the same side of the moon constantly faces the earth. But the far side isn't always dark.
Why can not see the dark half of the moon?

Does Becky ride unicorns on the moon?
Yes. This is because unicorns live on the moon because they cant survive on the Earth due to oxygen.
Why does the moon have a dark side but earth doesn't?
I may not be right but I think because the moon moves it makes a dark side on the earth so the earth does not need one. Also one side if the earth can not be dark all the time!! The. It would be might all the time!
