This is because the rotation of the moon is equal to it's orbit around the earth. That is: it takes the moon 28 days to make a full orbit around the earth, and 28 days to make a full rotation. As a result, the same side of the moon is always facing earth.
It would be the opposite. If we went to the moon when it was full, we would look back at an earth in shadow (a `new earth`) If we went to the moon when it was new, then it would be between us and the sun, so we would look back at a full earth. For a waxing gibbous from earth, the earth would be a waning crescent from the moon.
Yes, every moon spins on it's axis while it orbits. The Moon which orbits Earth spins, but because it is orbiting us at the same time we can only ever see on face of the moon. That's why there is the Dark Side of The Moon. I think you can see roughly 50.8% of the Moon's Surface on Earth.
You can see all three of these. The phase of the moon when it is not visible is called new moon.
You see just that part of the moon that the sun is shinning on.
No, we cannot See the Moon when it is raining because the clouds will cover the moon and if the cloud is clear only we can see the cloud.
you will stand on the other side of the moon
No because otherwise the flag wont be blowing. when he landed on the moon
yeah but they wont be in the same orientation
no,
Certainly not in our lifetime.
once you beat him at the castle you wont ever see him
The Moon spins at the same rate that it orbits the Earth; once every 27 days. Because of that, the same side of the Moon always faces the Earth. Before the Soviet Luna space probes which took photos of the far side of the Moon, no one had ever known what it looked like. People of India cannot see the far side of the Moon? The People of EARTH cannot see the far side of the Moon.
Oh god you are so stupid. NO! watch any of the moon landing videos and you wont see a single rope. The moon has sufficient gravity to hold down a person.
The Moon reflects the Suns' light, ergo: making you able to see the Moon.
No. You don't ever get to see the parents of the main character.
No the moon does not disappear. The moon you see depends on where the moon is. if you cannot see the moon that means it is a solar eclipse or a new moon. so the moon never disappears.
Observers on Earth only ever see the same side of the moon because the moon's rotation period is the same as its orbital period around Earth, causing one side to always face towards us.
