The side that faces away from the flashlight or the sun is always the dark side.
The upper side of an organism is its dorsal side. This side typically faces away from the ground or substrate and is often more exposed to light and the environment.
The earth is never really facing away from the sun- the erath doesn't really have a 'front'. If you are talking about your side of the planet, then when it is away from the sun it is night time.
The windward side of the mountain has most of the precipitation. This happens because it gets colder the higher you go. As the air cools off, it reaches its dew point temperature,and the moisture in the air condenses to form clouds, and eventually rain, or snow.
It is the sloped side of a mountain that is colder and gets more rain. Why? Because the leeward side is the opposite of the windward side and is also dryer because when the clouds climb the mountain range (windward side) they loses all their water so there is none left for the leeward side.
Leeward is the side that is not exposed to wind and weather. The side that faces away from the wind.

A rain shadow is a dry area on the leeward side of a mountain where precipitation is blocked by the mountain. The rain shadow effect occurs when moist air is forced to rise over a mountain range, causing it to cool and release most of its moisture on the windward side, leaving the leeward side dry.
Rain shadow.
The dry side of a mountain is called the leeward side. This is the side away from the wind. The dry area is known as a rain shadow.
The leeward side of a mountain is termed as the drier side, as it is the side of the mountain that faces away from the prevailing winds and therefore receives less moisture. This process, known as the rain shadow effect, results in the leeward side being arid or semi-arid compared to the windward side that receives more precipitation.
The leeward side of a mountain faces away from the direction of prevailing winds. As air rises up the windward side, it cools and releases moisture, creating a rain shadow effect. This often results in drier and warmer conditions on the leeward side of the mountain.

One side of a mountain may be desert-like because it faces away from prevailing winds, creating a rain shadow effect where moisture is blocked, resulting in dry conditions. This side of the mountain may also receive less sunlight due to its position, leading to cooler temperatures and less vegetation.
The side that faces away from the flashlight or the sun is always the dark side.
The side of a mountain range that usually faces away from prevailing winds is more likely to have deserts. This is because as the moist air rises over the mountain, it cools and loses its moisture, creating a rain shadow effect where the leeward side receives less rainfall, resulting in drier conditions and potential desert formation.
