Does only one side of the moon face the earth?

Yes only one side of the moon is always facing the earth.


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.


Why you always look at the same side of 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


Why do you se only one side of the moon?

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.


Is it known where the axis of the moon is?

There is no know axis of the moon because we have only been on one side of the moon


Why do you see one side of the moon and never see the other side?

because the light reflects on the moon and we only see the lighted side


Do you only see one side od the moon?

Yes.


Can the moon turn?

Yes it can, and it does. The moon rotates once every revolution, which is how we only see one side of the moon.


What does the moon is bigger than eye can see mean?

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.


Why is one side of the moon call the Darkside of the moon?

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."


Why do you see only one side of the moo from eart?

The moon rotates as fast as it orbits the earth, thus only one side faces it.


How many sides of the moon are visible from Earth?

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.
