The Moon rotates in such a way that it shows us the same side all the time. In other words, the Moon's rotation period now exactly equals the time the Moon takes to complete one orbit around the Earth.
This must have been caused by the Earth's tidal forces acting on the Moon.
Earth is rotating slower and slower due to these same tidal forces; in the far future, it will show the same side to the Moon all the time.
What else can I help you with?
You only see one side of the earth because?
I think you meant moon. Its because the moon rotaes at the same speed it revolves around earth. So you can only see one side of it from earth.
Can the moon turn?
Yes it can, and it does. The moon rotates once every revolution, which is how we only see one side of the moon.
Is it true that you only see one side of the moon?
Yes it is true we only see one side of the moon. We only see one side of the moon because the moon rotates around the Earth at the exact same speed as it rotates around its own axis, so that the same side of the moon is constantly facing the surface of the earth. This means that one full 'day' of the moon (meaning the length of time it takes for the moon to rotate around itself once) is about 4 weeks long. If the moon didn't rotate at all, we would see all of its sides; the only way for us to see such a constant face of the moon is if it's also rotating.
Why do we only see the ''near side'' of the moon and never the far side?
The moon spins at the same speed that it orbits the earth so we always see the same side.
What is the moon phase that occurs after a new moon and only half of the lighted side can be seen?
This is the first quarter phase. The moon looks half lit, half in shadow, but you actually can only see one quarter of the moons surface at this point (during a full moon, you would only be able to see half of the moons surface - the half that faces us).
Why do you see one side of the moon and never see the other side?
because the light reflects on the moon and we only see the lighted side
Why is it that you cannot see the other side of the moon from earth?
That is because you are looking at the moon from only one side, and the moon does not rotate, so therefor, we don't see the dark side of the moon.
Do you only see one side od the moon?
Yes.
Why do you se only one side of the moon?
The same side of the moon always faces Earth due to its synchronous rotation, called tidal locking. This means that the moon's rotation period matches its orbital period around Earth, causing one side to always be facing us while the other side remains hidden from view.
Why can you only see one side of the Moon's from earth?
cuz you have to be in like china to see the other side ;-)
You only see one side of the earth because?
I think you meant moon. Its because the moon rotaes at the same speed it revolves around earth. So you can only see one side of it from earth.
Why you always look at the same side of moon?
the reason you only see one side of the moon is because the rotation of the moon and the revolution speed of the moon are the same
Can the moon turn?
Yes it can, and it does. The moon rotates once every revolution, which is how we only see one side of the moon.
Why do people on Earth see only one side of the Moon when the Moon is visible in the sky?
cause we are asleep
Why do you only see the right side of the moon?
Because the sun is only on the right side of the moon.
Why do you see only one side of the moo from eart?
The moon rotates as fast as it orbits the earth, thus only one side faces it.
Do you only ever see one side of the moon?
yeah, we can only see the one side of the moon. It makes a rotation every 29 and a half days which is the exact time that it takes to make an orbit around the earth. Due to this phenomenon and seeming coincidence, we can only see one half...
