Why Do We See Only One Side Of The Moon? | BYJU'S Fun Facts

Have you ever wondered why we always see the same side of the moon?
No matter what time of the year it is, or which part of the earth we are on, the dark side of the moon is always hidden!
So, why do we see only one side of the moon? We know that apart from the motion of the moon around earth, the moon also rotates on its axis. The secret to its dark side lies in its synchronous rotation.
Watch the video where we explore this mysterious relation between the moon’s rotation and revolution.

As there is gravity on Moon (although its 1/6th percent of Earth) it pulls the water from the Earth causing tides. It can be a high tide or a low tide. Fishermen should also have the knowledge of tides as during a high tide it wil be more helpful for them because more and more fish will come near to the shore and they can bring their boats back. So, this is the attraction (occurrence of tides)of moons gravity to Earth.
