looks pretty curved upwards

Concave!

yes

concave earthers are right

hush numpty

@Amthyric

yeah?

Why is it that we only see one face of the moon. If it is orbiting a ball...imagine if its rising...you would see a different face than when it sets but we dont. We always see the same face no matter the observers position

Its very weird

tidal locking

That has nothing to do with it

Plus its not tidally locked

?

Tidal nodes prove that

@Citizen Z what does tidally locked mean?

Im speaking of the observation of the moon itself. It never changes face. It rises to your left (or right) then sets to your right (or left). If the observer is on a ball and the moon was a sphere then you would see the sides of the moon

again

what is tidal locking?

And parts of the back at times

Again. Are we on a globe and is the moon a sphere?

hang on

what is the orbital period of the moon?

or the proposed period?

Tidal locking doesnt explain that

so here is the thing

over the course of a night, the moon does not move much

you do

the period is about 28 days

a month

that is where the name comes from, too

If u moved then you would see the side of the moon

So let me propose a though experiment to explain this

Yet no one ever has

the moon is far away

really far

So

Shouldnt matter
