one side of the moon receives light from the sun and the other will never get light..that side is called the dark side of the moon..so yes the moon is dark and also receives sunlight...(the moon does not make any of its own light)
well its called the face or surface cause well that the only side we see and the other side is called the dark side so i hope i answer you question.
if the question is what is the Dark side of the moon than i can help. in the case of it being the dark side of the moon thats easy. the dark side of the moon the the side that is not visible from earth due to the fact that it doesn't face the earth ever we only see half the moon so the half we don't see is called the Dark side also it might have something to do with the fact that the sun doesn't generally shine on that side of the moon leaving it in shadow. hope this helps -seagate0606
That is called the New Moon. The moon is between the Earth and the Sun. The sun is so bright, it makes the moon impossible to see, and, of course it's lit side is facing the sun.
The Moon isn't always dark. It reflects the Sun's light, but its appearance changes based on its position relative to the Earth and Sun. During a "new moon," the side facing us is not illuminated, so it appears dark.

The New Moon is when the lit side of the moon is facing away from Earth, and only the dark side is visible.

The Moon keeps the same side to the Earth. So there's a side you can't see from Earth. However it's best to call it the "far side" because that side does get lit by the Sun as the Moon goes round us. It's just that we never see it. I haven't deleted the answer below, but I don't think it really helps us much. The point is that all we see is the "near side". It's fully lit at Full Moon, but mostly it's partly lit by the Sun as the Moon orbits us.
Ah, what a lovely question! We can't see the dark side of the moon from Earth. The moon's rotation is synced with its orbit, meaning we only see one side from our planet. In a way, it's like a happy little dance between Earth and the moon.
That is because you are looking at the moon from only one side, and the moon does not rotate, so therefor, we don't see the dark side of the moon.
Half the moon is 'dark' at any one time. Every point on the moon is illuminated for roughly 50% of the time, as the first answer said. So there IS a dark side of the moon :). And it is very dark, so that stars can be seen more clearly than anywhere on earth.
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.
The dark side of the moon refers to the side of the moon that is not visible from Earth due to synchronous rotation. This means that the moon rotates on its axis at the same rate it orbits Earth, causing one side to always face away from us. The term "dark" is a bit misleading as the side still receives sunlight, but it is called dark because it is unseen from Earth.
