Stella tells her friend Gale that the Sun never shines on one side of the Moon and that is why people talk about "the dark side of the Moon.” What should Gale say to Stella?

The Moon rotates as it orbits Earth, so sunlight reaches both its near and far sides at different times. The far side is not permanently dark; “dark side” is a misleading name for the side we do not see from Earth. Therefore, Gale should say that we just never see the Moon’s far side from Earth.
