The moon rotates around the Earth in an elliptical orbit. The moon rotates in slower rate when it is closest to earth and rotates in faster rate when far from earth. The side of moon facing earth surface is called the near side. During new moon phase, when the moon comes between the Earth and the sun, the back side of the moon gets hide by daylight.
