Why is one side of the moon always lit?
One side of the moon is always lit because of a phenomenon called "synchronous rotation," where the moon rotates on its axis at the same rate that it orbits the Earth. This causes one side of the moon to constantly face towards Earth while the other side remains in darkness.
Does the Moon always have the same side in darkness?
No. The moon is however tidally locked, that is the same face is always turned toward Earth. The moon revolves on it's axis once per every revolution of the Earth; that is as it revolves around the Earth it also completes one revolution or one Lunar day. As it orbits the Earth, it's entire surface is exposed eventually to sunlight. So, no, there is no one side always in darkness. What you may be thinking of is the term "Dark side of the moon." This is more than the title of a Pink Floyd album and song. It refers to the face of the moon always turned away from Earth, which was not seen by humans until 7 October 1959 when they were transmitted by the Soviet space probe Luna 3.
Why does the moon not rotate as does the earth?
The moon does rotate on its axis as the earth does. The earth rotates once in a day and the moon rotates once in a month ( for those who want to quibble, it's a little more than 27 days ). ADD---the moon rotate at the same speed of the earth, that why we always see the same side of the moon which give the impresion that the moon doesnt rotate but it does!
If rotation did not occur one side of the earth would always be cold and what?
If rotation did not happen one side the earth would stay cold. It would also always be dark outside.
Does the moon have one side in constant daylight and one side in constant darkness?
No, the moon always has the same side facing toward the earth, and the changing angle of sunlight on the moons face creates the waxing and waning effect we see on the moons surface. The far side of the moon, the side we cannot see from the earth is sometimes eroneously refered to as th dark side of the moon. It is only "dark" in the sense that we cannot see it from here.
