Question

based on this excerpt, why is one side of the moon known as the \dark side\?
a many strong storms happen there.
b in order to travel to the moon, astronauts must fly all the way around it first.
c because of the way the moon turns, one side always has light while the other side does not.
d the surface of the moon can reflect different colors.
have you ever noticed that no matter when you look at the moon, it always looks the same? like the earth, the moon rotates on its axis. the moon turns as the earth turns. the time it takes for the moon to do one full turn on its axis is just about the same amount of time it takes for the moon to do one full circle around the earth. the same side of the moon has been facing the earth for millions of years. humans would not see the other side of the moon until 1968. that year, the space mission apollo 7 became the first team to orbit the moon. the people on board were the first to see the other side, or the \dark side,\ of the moon.

Explanation:

The text explains that the moon rotates on its axis in the same amount of time it takes to orbit the Earth. This results in one side of the moon always facing the Earth (the side we see) and the other side (the "dark side") not being visible from Earth. Option B directly states this reason.

Answer:

B. Because of the way the moon turns, one side always has light while the other side does not.
