No, the moon always has the same side facing toward the earth, and the changing angle of sunlight on the moons face creates the waxing and waning effect we see on the moons surface.
The far side of the moon, the side we cannot see from the earth is sometimes eroneously refered to as th dark side of the moon. It is only "dark" in the sense that we cannot see it from here.

The new moon is the phase of the moon when only the side of the moon away from the earth is lit, so the side facing earth is in near total darkness. The moon is very difficult to see during this phase.
you see the dark side of the moon when you see half the moon. because there is always a full moon but you only see some of it exept when there is a full moon
one side of the moon receives light from the sun and the other will never get light..that side is called the dark side of the moon..so yes the moon is dark and also receives sunlight...(the moon does not make any of its own light)
Yes, one part of the moon is always facing towards the sun, and the other side is always facing away from the sun. One side is in constant light and one side is in constant darkness.
One - one side of Earth would be in constant daylight, while the other side would be in constant darkness. Two - life as we know it, would not exist.

When viewed from the Earth, if the light side of the Moon appears on the left-hand side, it is classed as "Waning" (getting smaller from a full-moon), whilst if the light is on the right-hand side, it is classed as "Waxing" (getting bigger towards a full-moon). If the Sun leads the Moon in their respective orbits across the sky, the light will be on the right-hand side. If the Moon leads the Sun, the light will be on the left-hand side. Whilst the Moon is associated with night and darkness, the Moon can often be seen during daylight (though difficult to see clearly in a bright daytime sky).

1. Like government, the moon is divided! Half of it in the light; the other half in utter darkness. 2. Like government, the moon's lit side, moves steadily into darkness! 3. Like government, the moon is totally in darkness, once every 28 days! Democracy, for my money; has been on the metaphorical dark side of the moon, since the Greeks first adopted it, as a method of government! Then what government is; In The Light Of Comprehension!
