Does the moon have both sun light and darkness?
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)
What is the front of the moon called?
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.
What is the daek side of the moon?
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
What moon lies between the sun and earth so the side of the moon facing earth is dark and the moon is not visible?
The New Moon is when the lit side of the moon is facing away from Earth, and only the dark side is visible.
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.

Can you see dark side of the moon?
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.
Why is it that you cannot see the other side of the moon from earth?
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.
How dark is 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.
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.
What causes a new moon?
The New Moon is when the Moon is between the Earth and Sun, so that its lit side is away from view, and its dark side is facing the Earth.

The moon lies between the sun and the earth so the side of the moon facing earth is dark and the moon is not visibel?
This is the description of the "New Moon".
