Only one side of the moon always faces away from the Earth since as we all know, the Earth is rotating around its axis, and this generally means that the side of the earth is moving either to face the moon or away from the moon. During these instances, the Earth, therefore, experiences the night and day cycle, since most of the time, the moon is visible in the midnight sky, compared to its visibility during the day.
