Are there more craters on the far side of the moon to protect the telescope then on near side?
yes
Why do we only see the ''near side'' of the moon and never the far side?
The moon spins at the same speed that it orbits the earth so we always see the same side.
What can you infer about the opposite side of the moon when we see a full moon?
The general infereince is that it looks the same as the near side. That all changed when the Soviets sent Luna 3 to the far side of the moon in October, 1959. Luna 3 sent back very low quailty photos which revealed the far side to be full of craters. There were no mares (or seas) on the far side at all. NASA orbiters (including manned missions) returned much more detailed photos of the far side, which confirmed the findings of Luna 3.
Does the gravitational pull of the moon primarily cause tides?
Yes, that makes sense. Actually the Moon pulls the near side of the Earth - the side that is nearer the Moon - stronger than the far side, and this is what causes the tides.
What is the length from the fulcrum to the load?
That is the distance between the load and the fulcrum. The load may be on the far side, or the near side of the fulcrum. One often overlooked fact, is that as the distance from load to fulcrum increases, the load on the fulcrum decreases.
Why did no Apollo missions land on the far side of the moon?
The far side of the moon is lit by the sun just as much as the near side. The true reason for landing on the near side instead of the far side has to do with communications, as we did not have comm satellites orbiting the moon during the Apollo missions. The near side was just much more practical than the far side.
How is the Moon's crust different on the near side from the far side?
on the near side there is less gravitational pull resulting in a thickness of 60km thick while the far side has a thickness of about 100km thick
What do photos of the far side of the moon show?
The crater shapes and shading is different but otherwise the same as this side. Comment: There's one big difference between the far side and the near side of the Moon. The far side lacks the "maria" which are such a feature of the near side.
Is the far side of the moon similar to the near side of the moon?
Yes.
How is the far side of the moon different from the side you see?
Almost all the maria are on the near side. The far side is mostly just craters.
Why does the far side of the moon has many craters than the near side of the moon?
Because the near side is protected somewhat by the earth.
Why is there a near side and a far side of the moon?
We only ever see the same side of the moon. The other side is called the far side or "the dark side of the moon"
What is the name of the front of the moon and the back of the moon?
The near side and the far side .
Are there more craters on the far side of the moon to protect the telescope then on near side?
yes
Why do the far side of of the moon looks different from the near side?
because its different cheese
How far do you have to be to see whole side of earth?
you have to be near the moon
What is the darkside of the moon and why does it occur?
The side of the Moon that faces Earth is called the near side, and the opposite side the far side. The far side is often inaccurately called the "dark side," but in fact, it is illuminated exactly as often as the near side: once per lunar day, during the new Moon phase we observe on Earth when the near side is dark
