No. The far side of the moon is usually partially illuminated by the sun and is only completely dark during the full moon. The far side of the moon is fully lit during the new moon phase. It is called the "dark" side of the moon because we never see it.
You probably mean the far side, not the dark side:There is no "dark side of the moon". Every point on the moon is illuminated for roughly 50% of the time, just like every point on earth. So sometimes the far side is light, and sometimes it's dark. Just like the near side.None of the Apollo missions landed or traveled to the far side of the moon ... the side that's invisible from earth ... mainly because they could not have communicated with earth by radio from there.
Dark Side of the Moon is also the albums title No, I think the song is from a different album. If the song is from the same album then what is the song called? Nowhere is the song named in the album.
There technically is no dark side of the moon. It's just the part of the moon that we don't see from earth. The more common term is 'far side'. We never see the 'far side' of the moon because the face of the moon that we see is always oriented toward earth. As the moon goes through its monthly orbit of earth, the moon is also slowly turning on its axis in such a way that one orbit is on average exactly the same length of time as one rotation. The same side always faces earth.
All the Apollo landings were on the near side as opposed to the far side (a better term than "dark side", since it isn't actually any darker... statistically, it's very slightly lighter than the near side).However, all the missions which involved a landing, plus a few others, did take the astronauts completely around the Moon. Astronauts on Apollo 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17 did get to see the far side of the Moon.
It's "I'm from Outer Space" by Shel Silverstein. Recorded by Even Stevens.
This is an uneducated way of referring to the far side of the moon. But the far side isn't always dark.
There is no dark side, the moon is similar in colours all over its surface.
No. The far side of the moon is usually partially illuminated by the sun and is only completely dark during the full moon. The far side of the moon is fully lit during the new moon phase. It is called the "dark" side of the moon because we never see it.
Yes. The far side of the moon is dark when we see a full moon. It is partially dark at all phases other than the new moon.
The "dark" side of the Moon is not a side that's permanently dark, but simply the side - about one half of the Moon - that we can never see from Earth. It's better to call it the "far side" of the Moon. Why the far side is sometimes called the "dark side" is probably just a misunderstanding. Also, it may be to do with the idea that the far side is more "mysterious". Each place on the Moon receives sunlight during the course of a month, as the Moon goes through its phases.
Nothing. There is no life on the moon, dark side or light side.
You can use the phrase "dark side of the Moon" - but not as a synonym for "far side of the Moon". The Moon has days and nights like the Earth does, except that lunar days are 28 days long. The far side of the Moon - the part never seen from Earth - also gets days and nights just like the side we see.
Well, there is really a far side, but it's not always dark on the far side. It depends on whether it'd daytime on the far side or not.
There is no "dark side of the Moon"; the Moon's day is 28.5 days long, but it has regular cycles of day and night. Perhaps you are referring to the FAR side of the Moon?
The phenomenon of the "dark side of the moon" is not due to the moon being dark, but rather to the fact that the same side of the moon always faces the Earth. This is because the moon's rotation period is the same as its orbit period, a phenomenon known as synchronous rotation. The far side of the moon is not always dark but is simply hidden from view from Earth.
"the near side of moon is not dark" this is not entirely correct answer. there are infact many times when the near side of the moon is dark throughout the year. the moon has day and night cycles aswell as other forms of darkness. first off, a full moon seen on earth is when the sun shines light on the moon without the earth being in the way to cast a shadow on the surface. however a Crescent Moon is the moon being partially shadowed by the earth, so the near side is actually dark because the earth is blocking out the sun light to it. also depending on the position of the moon the far side gets the light and the near side wont. this is because the sun is stationary and the moon goes around the earth. there will always be a light side and dark side of the moon just like there is on earth a day and night but you have to remember that its not night all around earth at the same time, same goes for the moon. also the dark side of the moon generally refers to the far side, which is not always dark.
