Is there a dark side of the moon?
Hi, I know this might be stupid but I wanted to ask anyway.
1. Does the moon revolve around the Earth and rotate itself or does the same side always point towards the Earth?
2. If the sun shines on the moon all the time, does it eventually get brighter or darker?
3. Is there a side or part of the moon that is brighter or darker?
Thanks for the answers. I thought about this a lot last night. I hope these aren't stupid questions.

The moon always shows the same side of the earth because of the bound rotation in a 1:1 resonance, but if the moon once rounds the Earth after about 27 days, then it turned around itself once. So the moon also has a self-rotation. Of course, the back of the moon will be completely exposed by the sun, we would have a new moon here. Yes, the solar radiation makes the surface of the moon darker after a long time, because the high-energy particles of the solar wind (electrons, hydrogen nuclei and helium nuclei) virtually releases and evaporates the light elements from the rock. For example, iron compounds which have a dark color are then remaining, and the rock slowly crumbles, thereby forming a regolite layer. The hard UV radiation also slowly bleaches the surface. So the moon surface was brighter at times.
So it gets darker but also brighter but slowly darker overall, but so you don’t really notice? 😅
Altogether slowly darker, as it takes many million years, a single person does not realize that of course. But you can still see it, the moon has some radiation craters. These were created only a few million years ago, with material being ejected under the moon surface due to the impacts and this material was previously protected from the sun wind under the moon surface, so it appears brighter than the moon surface, almost as bright rays around the crater.
Thank you
Apart from the brightness, the moon practically does not change in the future as it does not have an atmosphere and there is no erosion. Also the moon is geologically almost dead, so there is no more volcanism. Only large asteroids could change the appearance in the future.
what would most of this be that the moon could still change logically in the future? is there any scientists who know about this?
Due earth-dead side is often called dark side because we can’t see it at all, it’s not always dark
You’re right.
There is no dark side of the moon in terms of brightness. Because the moon turns about 1 times per monsate around its own axis. Consequently, each point of its surface is illuminated for 1/2 month and dark for 1/2 month.
The term “Dark Side of the Moon” or “Dark Side of the Moon” refers to the fact that we cannot see the back of the Moon, and this part of the Moon is therefore in the “darking of our ignorance”.
The dark side is particularly dangerous for mankind, because aliens can prepare an invasion in peace and we get nothing from it.The moon is excellent as a ‘bridge head’ to get out of cover with an armada from spaceships with laser guns and other supermodern weapons.
Right, but absolutely irrelevant.
First of all, the distances in the universe are really so astronomeric, absolutely huge, that we will never get contact with aliens.
Secondly, there would be (despite 1) contact with aliens, then this would be so superior to us technically and militaryly (can then practically overcome insurmountable distances) that they really do not need such tricks. — relative to such supernaturals, we would be at the level of rainworms. And when it comes to a rainworm, people do not need any special cover.
There is no side that is always dark as the moon turns around the earth and in relation to the sun around its axis.
But there are bright and dark places in Poland. There are mountains of eternal light and valleys of eternal darkness.
The moon always shows the same side to the earth, a dark side, so there is not only one in the sense that we do not see. Of course, there are also sunrises and sunsets, but not as on earth, on the moon it becomes suddenly dark because the atmosphere that scatters the light is lacking.
my with darker side, if the moon is actually only stone in the world space without green and atmospheric and so, why does the sun light the moon then nich out or makes it darker somewhere or something?
now today the “dark” side is directed towards the earth; However, it is not firm, but wanders around the moon with the sunlight in about 4 weeks.
if we have full moon, it’s on the back.
the scifi story “the dark side of the moon” stimulates many ignorant to phantasies about all sorts of abstruse layers.
A permanently dark moon side is only available in the SciFi literature (Eclipse series by George Phillies). In reality, it is as excellent as described in the other answers.
1. The moon circles around the earth and turns so that it always shows the same side, which is called “tidally locked”, the tidal forces have brought the moon to this stable rotation and are now minimized on the moon
3. The dark side of the moon “Dark side of the moon” denotes the side of the moon we used, invisible from the earth. In fact, that side is much brighter than the ones we are facing. In the early phase of the Earth Moon system, when the Moon began to show us the same side were earth and moon glowing hot, dkeHitzebeamubg caused lava seas on the side facing us, the gravitation made the crust thin, dense rock gathered near the moon. Therefore, today’s Maare are dark basact rock, other areas = entire back of lighter crust rock.
Two. And that doesn’t make any difference, it’s chemically stable. Very bright fresh dust after impact events darkened by particle radiation and chemistry. (young craters gave bright rays of ejection material) By the way, the moon is dark, like a dark grey rocky mountains in this country.

“Every” side of the moon is in the sun
but if the sun is our next strongest, brightest light source, why is it the moon or makes the darker? does it happen with all things?
I don’t know if you can bleach the moon, but I don’t think so, and even if we see it only when it is irradiated by the sun
1. Yes the moon turns the earth and it always shows the same side as the moon’s rotation is bound to the earth.
Two. The moon has no own luminosity and remains the same brightness, sometimes slightly darker, sometimes slightly brighter, always comes to the time and to the weather.
3. The back of the moon is quite often dark but there are moments where it is also irradiated. The dark spots on the moon are remains of lava/magma.
but if the sun is our brightest, next light source, why will the moon get nich somewhere or somehow bleached or darker from the light of the sun?
In this video it is explained:

Only the side facing away from the sun. Just like the earth, it’s nothing more than the night side and it’s just moving.
But the term is rather the side facing away from the earth when one speaks of the dark side of the moon, but this is not permanently dark, but because of the bound rotation of the moon around the earth permanently turned away from the earth. From the sun, it is illuminated more or less but still, and at New Moon it is the strongest to see only the night side of the moon on Earth.
In fact, the moon is completely dark and appears bright for us only where the sun radiates it.
The sun illuminates the moon evenly from all sides during the course of time, only the “back” cannot be seen due to the bound rotation from the earth.
