From Earth, you can only see ONE side of the moon. And that is the same side that has been facing us for as long as I can remember. The moon does not rotate its face. I'm afraid you can't ever see the dark side of moon from Earth :(

Yes, the other side of the moon is not always dark. It experiences day and night just like the side of the moon facing Earth. The term "dark side of the moon" refers to the side that is not visible from Earth, not to the side that is always in darkness.


Why do you see one side of the moon during a full moon?

During a full moon, the side of the moon facing Earth is fully illuminated by the sun, making it appear as a complete circle from our perspective. The side not facing Earth is in shadow, causing us to only see the illuminated side during a full moon.


The side of the moon that faces the sun always illuminated but that side does not always face earth the different phases of the moon are caused by the moon near 28 days?

The phases of the Moon are caused by the angle between the Moon and the Sun changing. At one time we see the illuminated side, at another time, its dark side. The full cycle is 29 1/2 days.The phases of the Moon are caused by the angle between the Moon and the Sun changing. At one time we see the illuminated side, at another time, its dark side.

What is the ''dark side of the moon''?

The side in which the moon has least light. ------------------- I believe the phrase typically refers to the far side of the moon, as the "dark side" is not one fixed location. As it moves, the plane of light moves across it just like on earth. The moon is in a state of synchronous rotation with the earth, with both one revolution and one rotation taking the same amount of time; 1 month. As such, the same side of the moon is always facing earth. The side that faces away is the far side, often referred to incorrectly as the dark side.


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.

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!


Why do you see one side of the moon during a full moon?

Why there is a phases in the moon?

Depending on the relative position (direction, actually) of Earth, Moon, and Sun, we see the bright side of the Moon (full moon), the dark side (new moon), or something in between.
