Tycho is always facing Earth because it is a synchronous rotation body, meaning its rotation period matches its orbital period around Earth. This alignment causes one side of Tycho to always face Earth, much like the Moon always shows the same face to Earth.
The Tycho crater on the Moon appears to always be facing Earth due to a phenomenon called "libration." Libration is the slight rocking and wobbling of the Moon that allows us to see a slightly different angle of the Moon's surface over time, making it seem like the Tycho crater is always facing us.
The lighter colored halves of the moon and earth are always facing the sun because of their positions in relation to the sun. As the moon orbits the earth and the earth orbits the sun, the side that is illuminated by the sun is the side facing the light source. This creates the phases of the moon and day/night cycle on earth.
Yes.
We on earth always see the same face of the moon, but the "dark side" of the moon is not always dark. For example, in a lunar eclipse, the back side of the moon is receiving all of the sunlight, while the side facing us receives none.
Yes, it rotates at the same rate it orbits the Earth.
Tycho is ALWAYS going to face the side of Earth because it was in the center of the universe. So this way that the Moon and the Sun revolve around Earth. Kay A.

The moon rotates in such a way that one face always points towards the Earth. This is because the Earth has tides - over time the tidal forces gradually removed energy from the Moon's rotation so it ended up always facing the Earth.
No.
Yes. The Moon's rotation on its axis is in sync with it's orbit around Earth. Therefore, the near side of the Moon is always facing Earth.
the bright side
yes
He believed that the earth was the center of the universe.

The South Pole. It is the southernmost point on Earth, and so you can only be facing north while standing on it.
There is always 50% of the Earth facing the sun and 50% NOT facing it. If youhappen to be on the half that's not facing the sun, you would call that "night".
Tycho Brahe's theory improved on the Ptolemaic theory of the planets by explaining the phases of Venus, which the Ptolemaic theory failed to do. Tycho's theory still had the Earth at the centre. Later all the old theories of Ptolemy, Copernicus and Tycho were replaced by Kepler's elliptical orbits in 1609.
