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.

Thanks a lot .byju's my concept had been cleared.

[@riselikeaphoenix3266]

The effect of moon's attraction to earth is the formation of tides and waves......

[@anushkashinde556]

I saw the moon's back side 2:59 but you said that no one on the earth can see the backside (dark side) of the moon

[@sparklingsisters1836]

Wonderful demonstration and animation. very nice explanation mam. Thank you Byjus.

[@jordanunreiner9074]

Wow!!!! Life will never be the same now that I have this info!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@dz_ayesha]

Thank you BYJU'S I have gain some knowledge,which I want to show here😊The Moon orbits Earth once every 27.3 days and spins on its axis once every 27.3 days. This means that although the Moon is rotating, it always keeps one face toward us. Known as “synchronous rotation,” this is why we only ever see the Moon's nearside from Earth.🌚

[@DREAM_ACHIEVER]

Wow awesome video , I love byjus 😍😍😍

[@mrvanshind3279]

Thanks Byju

[@lathat4440]

Moon attracts earth and it's effect on earth is , there is a balance in the earths tilting . Earth's tilts approximately 23.5 it varies due to moons gravity and due to moons gravity seasons changes ion earth... Thank you byjus ...

Such an amazing video

[@srimayiprabhala]

Amazing mam !!!!!!!!

[@vipinsingh2341]

Answer : Moon attract the Earth with the same force that Earth use . This is according to Newton's third law ( every action has an equal and opposite reaction) . But we can't feel the attraction because the size of the Earth is much larger than the size of the Moon ,so attraction of the Earth towards the the Moon is negligible............Thank you

[@MEANWHILE_DUDE]

Nice explained 👍

[@sumankumari9417]

It was informative 👍👌👏

[@bhanubudeda1621]

💞💞thank you so so much mam for you wonderful video.💞💞

[@alokendramandal]

Same concept was explained by Aanand Srinivasan sir in Byju's offline videos and he had explained it greatly❤. Although Cheethna ma'am also explained it nicely 👌. But Byju's please try yo bring back Aanand Srinivasan sir as he is the best teacher in the whole world.

[@yuvrajjain1265]

Yes he is my also favourite teacher.

[@mousumikundu1768]

Helpful video

[@unknownscientistf34]

Getting grove with byju's

[@ishvm1489]

Awesom Mam, it's really helps to understand the revolution and rotation 🔥 Yes, Moon also attract the earth but in opposite directions,but moon mass is so small campare to earth so doesn't so large effect. But we see the effect known as TIDAL FORCE which is generate by moon gravitational pull.

[@badalmehta7082]

Waoo... I m graduate student and i still had confusion about moon rotation... Brillent Mam👍

Moon’s 🌚 attraction causes big waves 🌊 to form in oceans.

[@lunareclipse23743]

I know it's called tide.

[@pranaychakraborty4900]

The effect of the moon attraction on the Earth is moon's gravitational pull on the Earth is the main cause of the rise and fall of ocean tides.

[@anvita7615]

Great

[@siddheshlade5263]

Wow 📚📚

[@nahinjammu694]

Thanks mam

[@sejalverma4948]

I love your video

[@sunitadewangan7670]

Moon attracts the earth by gravitational force.

[@jasmeenkaur3825]

Wow!!

[@paporisaikiahazarika3847]

I like this fact very much

[@minnafrancis8636]

Ans : Moon attracts the earth with the same force as earth attracts but due to earth's large size ( comparatively ) there is negligible acceleration of earth towards moon. Moon's attraction results in tides on earth. Thank you Byju's for such amazing video 🙏😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

[@Shorts-ql2cu]

🔥🔥🔥

[@ManjuKumari-gr7vj]

yes the moon attracts the water (sea,ocean,etc) and thats why we see waves forming.

[@Janveedance]

Nice

Very interesting video But one thing disappoints me please upload videos every Friday and Wednesdays.I eagerly wait for it

[@keerthivashan1818]

Mam I am S.R.KEERTHI VASHAN joined the BYJU'S app. I have an doubt .what is the full documentary about formation of the moon?

[@aaryashree6880]

Byju's fun facts are amazing!!

[@byjusclasses]

Thank you!!

[@tanishkchhillar]

Moon's attraction results in the formation of low and high tides. Due of Moon 's gravitational pull the earth squeezes from it's centre. Which causes low and high tides.

[@sarthakshah6511]

Moon's gravitational pull is responsible to cause tides on earth

[@thearchitchoudhary]

My 1 like

[@indlasamatha3576]

Effect of Moon's gravitational pull to Earth is tides caused in oceans.

[@vishaltalentfactory]

Second View, Super Video, I love to see Fun and Interesting Facts of BYJU'S

[@sagoon4761]

The effect of moon🌙 gravity on earth🌎 it cause of the rise and fall of ocean tides.
