Because the moon roates once a month in the same direction it orbits in
The same side of the moon always faces Earth due to its synchronous rotation, called tidal locking. This means that the moon's rotation period matches its orbital period around Earth, causing one side to always be facing us while the other side remains hidden from view.
Oh, my friend, what a lovely question! You see, from Earth, we can only see one side of the moon. It's like watching a friend spin slowly in a spotless white gown, always showing the same beautiful face. What a wonderful sight to gaze upon and appreciate from our little blue planet.
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.
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.
The moon rotates on it's axis within the same period of time the moon orbits the earth, therefore only the "near side" of the moon can be seen from Earth. Technically the moon's "year" and the moon's "day" are equal length.
Yes only one side of the moon is always facing the 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.
the reason you only see one side of the moon is because the rotation of the moon and the revolution speed of the moon are the same

There is no know axis of the moon because we have only been on one side of the moon
because the light reflects on the moon and we only see the lighted side
Yes.
Yes it can, and it does. The moon rotates once every revolution, which is how we only see one side of the moon.
One man is only capable of seeing one side of the moon at a time, and only astronauts have seen the side that faces away from Earth.
Well, technically the phrase "dark side" of the Moon is only half-correct. The Moon's hemispheres are divided into the near side and the far side, and both of these sides receive the same amount of sunlight. We, however, from the point of view of the Earth, only ever see one side of the moon. This is due to the influence of the Earth's gravitational forces on the Moon's irregular shape; this tug gradually reduced the rotational period of the moon until it was the same as its orbit. Because the Moon's gravitational influence is not enough to change the Earth's rotational frequency (only cause the tides), it does not have the same effect. Thus, we only see one side of the Moon, leaving the other side a mysterious "dark side."
The moon rotates as fast as it orbits the earth, thus only one side faces it.
