Ah, what a marvelous question! You see, we can't see the dark side of the moon because it is actually always receiving the same amount of sunlight as the side facing us. It is not dark at all, just not as visible from Earth because it always faces away from us. It's like a quiet little friend watching over us from the other side of space.
What else can I help you with?
When did you see the dark side of the moon?
you see the dark side of the moon when you see half the moon. because there is always a full moon but you only see some of it exept when there is a full moon
What is on the side of the moon that you cant see?
The side of the moon facing away from Earth is known as the "far side" or "dark side" of the moon. This side appears to be dark because it does not receive direct sunlight, but it is not permanently dark, as it still gets sunlight at certain times during the moon's orbit.
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.
Why cant the whole moon be seen from earth?
A2. The Moon keeps one side locked towards Earth. Thus whether it were illuminated or not, we can never see the far side of the Moon.Incidentally, there is a marvellous movie of the complete Lunar cycle under Moon/Tidal effects in Wikipedia.A1. The sun casts a light on one side of the moon and the other side is a dark shadow. So if there is a half moon, for example, from earth, we can see half of the lighted side and half of the dark side, which makes it look like the moon is cut in half. Since the Earth rotates, we can see a different side every night, and that's how we can see more or less of the lighted side of the moon. For a new moon, Earth can see the whole dark side and none of the lighted side. For a full moon, Earth can see the whole lighted side and none of the dark side.
Where is the dark side of the moon as it moves to full?
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 :(

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.
Is the far side of the moon ever dark?
Yes. The far side of the moon is dark when we see a full moon. It is partially dark at all phases other than the new moon.
Do the moon have dark side?
Actually no. Because we cannot see the back side of the moon. But it is not always in dark. Sun can shine on it too

Is the Moon's dark side the far side?
No. The far side of the moon is usually partially illuminated by the sun and is only completely dark during the full moon. The far side of the moon is fully lit during the new moon phase. It is called the "dark" side of the moon because we never see it.

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.
What does “The Dark Side of the Moon” mean?
Literally there is a far side of the moon being the side we don't see from Earth. But it's not always dark. You will notice you can always see the same craters on the moon every night from where you live, you never get to see the other side.Abstractly it could mean the side we see is referred to as 'good' and the other side 'evil' so the dark side of the moon is referring to opposite of its good counterpart.
Where is the dark side of the moon as it moves to full?
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 :(
When is the dark side of the moon also the far side of the moon?
No. The far side of the moon is usually partially illuminated by the sun and is only completely dark during the full moon. The far side of the moon is fully lit during the new moon phase. It is called the "dark" side of the moon because we never see it.
