It only shows that it rotates around hte earth axis not its own. Here is the proof kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWLGq5yQqZ5leLM

[@frankdimeglio8216]

@@paulmerritt8593 UNDERSTANDING WHAT IS THE COMPARATIVE AND BALANCED BODILY/VISUAL EXPERIENCE OF THE MAN WHO IS STANDING ON WHAT IS THE MOON: The BULK DENSITY of the Moon is comparable to that of (volcanic) basaltic LAVAS on the Earth. The energy density of LAVA IS about three times that of water. SO, now, get a good and CLEAR look at what is the ORANGE SUN. The human body is, in fact, about as dense as water ! Look up at the blue sky. Importantly, this is a balanced BODILY/VISUAL EXPERIENCE !! The Moon is ALSO BLUE, AS it is barely visible then; AND the Earth is ALSO BLUE. SO, let's now match up (on balance) the eye, the blue sky, AND the ORANGE "Sun"/LAVA. Notice the basic match in sizes and brightness when considering the SETTING AND fully illuminated Moon AS WELL. (Most of the human body is water, with an average of roughly 60 percent. The average density of the Moon is also 60 percent in comparison with that of the Earth.) Beautiful. Relatively speaking, the terrestrial moon is, in fact, roughly a match (regarding it's size, at 27 percent) WITH the surface land area of the Earth (at 29 percent). In conclusion, in establishing the comparative AND BALANCED BODILY/VISUAL EXPERIENCE of gravity on what is the Moon, we would multiply one HALF times one third in order to get the correct answer. This explains quantum gravity, AS E=MC2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity; AS gravity/acceleration involves BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE. Accordingly, the rotation of WHAT IS THE MOON matches it's revolution !!! Great. Consider the relation with the tides. The Moon is ALSO BLUE. E=MC2 IS F=ma ON BALANCE. This NECESSARILY represents, INVOLVES, AND DESCRIBES what is possible/potential AND actual IN BALANCE, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy. In conclusion, I have mathematically proven that the gravity of what is THE MOON is ONE SIXTH in direct comparison with what is THE EARTH/ground; AS gravity/acceleration involves BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE; AS E=MC2 IS F=ma; AS GRAVITATIONAL force/energy IS proportional to (or BALANCED with/as) inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy. Think QUANTUM GRAVITY !!! Think energy DENSITY. It all CLEARLY makes perfect sense ON BALANCE. The ENERGY DENSITY of LAVA is about THREE TIMES greater than water. There would be no gravity on the blue Earth, AS the EYE then stands in balanced relation WITH what is the BLUE sky !! BALANCED BODILY/VISUAL EXPERIENCE does then dictate that the gravity of WHAT IS THE MOON would be reduced by (and at) one half, thereby bringing the surface gravity of what is THE MOON to BALANCE with that of THE EARTH/ground at one sixth. So, one half (ON BALANCE) of one third is one sixth. The orange "Sun" AND what is THE MOON ARE BALANCED with what is THE EYE. (Think about what is LAVA.) Notice, comparatively, that these forms or manifestations ARE semi-detached in relation to touch/tactical EXPERIENCE !! Moreover, the Moon is TERRESTRIAL in COMPARISON; SO (ON BALANCE) the Moon is ALSO then about one quarter (at 27 percent) the size of EARTH/ground !! The blue Pacific OCEAN takes up about HALF of the view of what is the Earth ON BALANCE !! SO, we WOULD multiply ONE HALF (ON BALANCE) in order to account for WHAT IS THE MOON, this ORANGE "Sun", AND LAVA on balance !! Now, in conclusion, the land surface area of the Earth is 29 percent. This is exactly ON BALANCE WITH BOTH one third AND one fourth, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity ! E=MC2 IS CLEARLY F=ma ON BALANCE ! Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy. Great. By Frank DiMeglio

When I was 10, I told my father that we only see one side of the moon from Earth. He told me that I was wrong. I told him that I learned this in school. He grounded me for talking back at him and told me to tell my teacher that she was wrong. Loving relationship obviously, but he was not the only person in my life to have such strong attachments to the idea that we see all sides of the moon from Earth. This phenomenon has always perplexed me. All one has to do is care enough to pay the slightest attention to our closest stellar neighbor to see that our view of its surface never changes, other than the shadow across its surface. It all goes to show that, not enough people look up. I guess they are afraid of getting bird poo in the eye. My wife was in her late 20s when she pointed out a strange object in the day sky. It was the moon. I often wonder how these enormous details are missed for entire lifetimes. I wonder what I, myself am ignorant too. Fortunately for life lessons, I do not allow cognitive dissonance to get in the way of learning something new every day. Thank you for the video from a decade in the future.

This is THE best explanation. If only all videos could be easy to understand like this. Most people do a terrible job explaining things.

[@defenderoftheadverb]

Yes it's pretty good. One minor exception was the explanation of tidal locking implied that the moon would tidally lock if it was spherical. Tidal locking depends on deformation. If it is not deformed and it's inertial mass is distributed evenly it will not lock. Well it might, given enough time because nothing is perfectly rigid but the deformation came before the tidal locking when the moon was close to the Earth and molten.

[@breadtoast7438]

Easy explanation for people with a school project and don’t have time for the video: This is called “synchronous rotation of the moon”. The side we see is the “near side”, while the one we don’t see is called the “far side”. Part of the reason we only see the near side is because of the rotation of the moon while it orbits the Earth. Why does it rotate like this? Because of the Earth’s gravitational pull and how large the moon is, the pull is stronger on the near side and the far side. This odd gravitational pull mechanism causes the near side to be “pulled” towards the Earth, causing it to face us. Did that help? Just thought I’d try to help the confused people in the comments.

[@Mahesh_Shenoy]

Doubt! At 3:55, why would the centre of gravity be 'lifted' away? Since the forces at different points in space stay the same, the centre of gravity shouldn't move at all, as the moon spins. This makes me think this explanation is incomplete. To account for the torque, we must consider the deformation of the moon. Because the moon is deformed, if it spins faster, then the bulges don't align with the axis. Now, again, the force profile stays the same, but due to asymmetric bulge, there is a net torque now!

[@afterthought054]

You are exactly right. Actually the bulge is why the CG is imagined to be "lifted away" otherwise if it was round the CG, although at the same radial distance , would keep changing on the inner circumference as it spun

[@stuarthayward4756]

Best explanation ever, fantastic. I finally get why the moon being "tidally locked" around the earth entails a time taken to complete one revolution (27 days) and the time taken to orbit around the earth (27.322 days) being near equivalent- and thus 360 degree rotation time is (99%) synchronised with the time it takes to complete one 360 degree orbit. So observers see 99% the same face (give or take the viewing of 8 degrees of the far side) Thank-you.

Best explanation till now. Three questions asked in the end : 1. Yes far side of moon faces sun when there is no moon in the sky 2. No earth can't be seen from far side of moon 3. I didn't understand.

[@sampeter1318]

3) The spot which was shown last is where the surveyor 6 got landed.And it is landed on sinus medii on the near side of the moon sinus medii is located at the intersection of the moons equator and Prime meridian as seen from the earth this feature is located in the central part of the moons near side and it is the point closest to the earth. So I guess looking from there it will definetly be seeing the earth and the sun according to its rotation

@@manishasoni2074 Really glad that it helped you :) and sorry that I didn't completely understood the second question like which part ,you confused with ¿ Near side of the moon is the visible side of the moon which is turned towards the earth. Because of that,the intersection of the moon's equator and Prime meridian is considered on the moons near side and it is also the central point. The point which is referred to any divison of the moon into two hemispheres one more thing to consider is that the moons axis of rotation is tilted as well as earth's.but moon's tilt is at an angle of 5.15° with respect to the plane of the earths orbit about the sun *if this tilt of moon was zero. We could have total Solar and Lunar eclipse every month and also the moon's orbit is not circular. It is elliptical. There are so much things to consider on the other side. feel free to ask questions :)

The best explanation I've ever seen. The calm explanation is incredible 👍👍👍👍

[@michaelwadederosa1810]

Answer 1: Yes you would see the sun from the far side of the moon. Just because the far side faces away from the Earth at all times doesn't mean it faces away from the sun. You would get approximately 1 sunrise and 1 sunset per month. Answer 2: No you would never see the earth from the far side of the moon without cheating (putting into orbit some kind of ridiculously gigantic mirror) Answer 3: You would only ever see the earth high in the sky directly overhead. The earth would be spinning so you would be able to see all the different sides of it at different times, but it would appear to have phases just like our view of the moon does. In fact I believe the earth phases would be more or less inverse to our moon phases. Approximately every month while the moon appears full from earth's perspective the earth would appear as ball of blackness from the moon's perspective. This is because during that part of the moon's orbit, the moon is behind the earth from the sun's perspective. About half a month later as the moon continues it's orbit, the moon will find itself in between the earth and the sun. At this time from the earth's perspective we would see a new moon (moon looks like a ball of blackness,) and from the moon's perspective you would see a "full earth." Answer 3 begs the question: Isn't there a famous quote from the Apollo days about the earth "rising over the moon's horizon"? Either my answer is wrong, or that quote must not have been said from the moon's surface, but instead from the perspective of an astronaut orbiting the moon in a spacecraft.

[@professorsogol5824]

I like your homework questions; I'll have to do a little internet research to answer them. In order to address them, we need to consider 1) what angle does the moon's axis of rotation make with the moon's plane of revolution around the earth? The moon's axis of rotation with respect to the plane on which it revolves around the earth averages about 6.68 degrees (Wikipedia) 2) what angle does the moon's plane of revolution around the earth make with the earth's plane of revolution around the sun? The moons revolutionary plane is to the ecliptic (the earth-sun plane) averages 5.14degrees Now just as the inclination of the earth's axis to the ecliptic (23. 4) causes the seasons and sun to appear higher in the sky in the summer and lower in the sky in winter, the corresponding tilt on the lunar axis will make the earth appear to be north of a lunatic living on the lunar equator at longitude 0 to observe the sun north of his position at some times and south of his position at others. These extremes will occur once every lunar cycle, but because the plane of the moon's orbit also rotates with respect to the sun in a little less than a solar year, the extreme position of the earth with respect to the northern and southern lunar horizons will be at a different time with respect to solar time. The forgoing accounts for the apparent north-south motion in the earth's position in the lunar sky. But there are other wobbles and bobbles in the earth-moon-sun system that will mean that the earth's position in the lunar sky will vary slightly east and west as well. A lunar Aristarchus or Ptolemy would be able to collect a lot of data to work with. PS I went out to see the partial solar eclipse last Sunday. Unfortunately it was too cloudy in my neighborhood to see the sun. But I did speculate on what a lunatic would see.

[@JUSTENization]

don't smack me just yet folks...one can always argue that earth is much further from the sun thus tidal pull is much less of an effect than moon to earth, and to even affect the earth's spin speed. Fair? One really interesting thing though, i have seen both crescent moons and full moons at sunrises though...the moon had to be at a very odd angle when that occurred (north America)...hum.

[@reamer59]

If the center of gravity of the moon is a point between the center of the moon and the surface of the moon that is facing the earth , then that point called the center of gravity should always be in a place determined by what point of the moon surface is facing the earth and not some static point that is pulled back as it rotates away. I hope this is clear enough, I'm not very good at putting things in writing :)
