Is The Dark Side of The Moon Dark?

No, the "Dark Side" of the moon is dark sometimes, and the side that we can see is also dark sometimes. If the moon is facing the sun it is bright, and if it is facing away from the sun it is dark. To make it easier to understand imagine that you are facing the direction of the sun. At the same time you are also looking at another person and facing someone who's face is opposite the sun. you are the moon, and the other person is the Earth. The person looking at you sees light on your face, because you are looking at the sun. When you aren't looking at the sun the other person doesn't see light on your face. This myth was created when people started calling the side of the moon that isn't facing Earth the dark side of the moon.- John Baskin
