When the moon and sun appear at the same time in the sky, typically during the day, the side of the moon that is illuminated and visible from Earth is the side that faces away from the sun. This phase is known as the new moon phase, where the moon is positioned between the Earth and the sun, making it difficult to see against the brightness of the sun. Thus, the illuminated face of the moon is not visible from Earth, and it appears dark.

Your moon always shows the same face to the earth?
The moon always shows the same face to the Earth due to its synchronous rotation, meaning it takes the same amount of time to rotate on its axis as it does to orbit the Earth. This synchronization occurs because of the gravitational forces between the Earth and the moon.
Why does the earth always remains in about the same position in the lunar sky?
The Moon rotates once per orbit, and has the same side of the Moon always facing the Earth. So looking at the Earth from the Moon, it's always in pretty much the same place.Because the Moon rotates at a constant speed but follows an elliptical orbit, there is a little variation; over the course of several months, the Earth would appear to "wobble" a little in the lunar "sky", and would appear to get somewhat smaller and larger as the Moon recedes from the Earth and then gets closer.
How fast does the moon turn?
The moon turns one complete spin every 27.32 days. It also happens to make onecomplete trip around the earth in exactly the same length of time, and the result isthat the same 'face' of the moon is always turned to face the earth.
Is the face of the moon the same size as Australia?
Its actually alot bigger than Australia,in fact it is exactly the same size as Benjamin webbs head. Which is exactly 10978970385647856 234 square feet !
If the moon rotates around the earth then how does the same side of the moon face the earth?
First understand that Just like the Earth, the Moon does spin on its axis. However the spin of the Moon is "tidally locked" with Earth so that as the Moon orbits the Earth about every 27 days, it also makes one very slow spin in the same direction every 27 days. This means that no matter when you see the Moon, it always shows the same side to the Earth.
Your moon always shows the same face to the earth?
The moon always shows the same face to the Earth due to its synchronous rotation, meaning it takes the same amount of time to rotate on its axis as it does to orbit the Earth. This synchronization occurs because of the gravitational forces between the Earth and the moon.
How much is a day on earths moon?
24hoursAs the moon always shows the same face to the Earth, would not a day on the moon be infinitely long?
How long will it take for the moon to drift out of our orbit?
The Moon will drift farther and farther from Earth, while Earth slows down, until Earth always shows the Moon the same face (just as the Moon already shows Earth the same face all the time). It doesn't seem that the Moon will completely escape from Earth's gravity.
Is the sun and the moon the same size why do they appear to be the same size?
They appear to be the same size, as the sun is a very long distance away. The sun is many times larger than the moon.
Why do the sun and moon appear to be the same size in the sky?
The sun and moon appear to be the same size in the sky because of an optical illusion called the Moon Illusion. This occurs when the brain perceives the moon as larger when it is closer to the horizon compared to when it is higher in the sky.
What side of the moon do you see in Virginia?
Everyone on earth sees the same face of the moon.
How can eclipses occur?
When the moon and sun appear in the same spot in the sky at the same time
Why the moon looks like it produces light?
The moon looks like it produces light for the same reason that your mirror looks like it is producing your face when you look at it. It turns out that the moon has a high enough albedo (reflectivity) that it reflects enough sunlight to appear to be lighted up.
Why do you see the same face of the moon?
because it rotates at the same rate as it fevolves
Do people of different side of globe see same face of moon?
Yes. The moon spins at just the right speed so that the same face always faced the Earth.
Why do you always see one face of the moon Do all countries see the same face?
The moon does not rotate so on Earth we always see the same side no matter where the observer is.
Does the same side of the moon always face earth?
Yes. It rotates at a rate which keeps the same side (or face) to Earth at all times. Or pretty much so. Because the Moon spins once per orbit, the same face of the Moon is always pointing to the center of the orbit. But because the Moon's orbit is elliptical rather than circular, we do get little peeks around the lunar horizon. It spins at a constant speed, but speeds up and slows down some in its orbit. In total, we can see about 54% of the Moon's surface from the Earth. And because the same face of the Moon is always turned toward Earth, an observer on the near side of the Moon would see the Earth appear to hang motionless (or almost) in the sky. And very little of the far side of the Moon ever gets a glimpse of Earth.
