Well, just like friends standing is rather close together during a group photo, there's one special side they can't see of each other. The Moon is in a dance with us, you see, and as it orbits Earth, it keeps that other side coyly hidden. It leaves a bit of mystery, allowing us to always explore and be inspired by the unknown. Peace and joy to you as you continue your cosmic journey!
What else can I help you with?
Which side of the moon do you see from earth?
The "near" side of the moon is the side that always faces Earth. The "far" side of the moon can only be seen from space. The dark side of the moon is the title of a Pink Floyd album. There is no side of the moon that is always dark.
Why is there a near side and a far side of the moon?
The near side of the moon always faces Earth due to synchronous rotation, where the moon completes one rotation on its axis in the same amount of time it takes to orbit Earth. This leaves the far side always hidden from view. The gravitational forces exerted by Earth create this tidal locking effect.
Did astronauts walk on the far side of the moon?
No, there have been no astronauts landing or walking on the far side of the moon. None have landed in darkness there, either. It is considered too dangerous. This is because it is not possible for communication signals to reach the earth from the far side. Also, the terrain is very rough, making finding a landing site difficult in the dark. The landings must take place on the side of the moon facing earth, and in the light.Note: There is no "dark side of the moon" in reality. All sides of the moon get direct sunlight as the moon circles the earth. There is, however, only one side that faces earth, and it is the only side we see from here. That gives the moon a "back side" rather than a dark side.
Which side of the moon has more craters?
The side of the moon that faces Earth (the near side) has more craters compared to the far side. This is because the near side is more exposed to impacts from space debris due to its proximity to Earth, while the far side is shielded from some impacts by the moon itself.
What is the side of the moon called that never faces the earth?
The side that's visible.
Why can you not stand on earth and see the far side of the moon?
The Moon is tidally locked to Earth; the Moon's "day" and the Moon's month are the same length. So the "near side" of the Moon always faces the Earth, and the "far side" always faces away 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.
Which side of the moon do you see from earth?
The "near" side of the moon is the side that always faces Earth. The "far" side of the moon can only be seen from space. The dark side of the moon is the title of a Pink Floyd album. There is no side of the moon that is always dark.
Which side of the moon faces earth when the moon orbits the earth?
-- The visible side.-- The outside.It's usually called the "near side" of the Moon. The side we can't see is calledthe "far side".
You call the side of the moon that never faces the earth?
The Far Side
What is the name of the side of the moon that doesn't face the earth?
The far side.
Why is there high tides on the side of Earth farthest from the moon?
The moon pulls on the water AND the earth leaving the water on the far side behind.
Why is there a near side and a far side of the moon?

Why does the far side of the moon actually receive slightly more sunlight than the side of the moon which faces earth?
The far side of the moon receives slightly more sunlight because it is never subject to a terrestrial eclipse (such as the shadow of the earth on the moon). However, while the far side does receive more direct sunlight. the near side, which faces Earth is more luminous due to the reflected sunlight from the Earth back to the moon. so in short answer, the far side receives more direct sunlight, but the near side is more luminous.
What couldn't you see if you lived on the far side of the moon?
The earth !
