Why only one side of the moon is visible from Earth |
|
Answer» e side of the Moon is visible from Earth because the Moon rotateson its axis at the same RATE that theMoon orbits the Earth – a situation known as synchronous rotation, or TIDAL locking. The Moon is directly ILLUMINATED by the Sun, and the CYCLICALLY varying viewing conditions cause the LUNAR phases. |
