How much of the total surface area of the moon is never visible from the earth

41 per cent

47 per cent

53 per cent

59 per cent

- The Moon is tidally locked with the Earth, meaning the same side always faces us.

- However, due to a slight wobble (libration), we actually see about 59% of the Moon’s surface from Earth over time.

- This means the remaining 41% of the Moon’s surface is never visible from Earth.

- Option 2 (47%), option 3 (53%), and option 4 (59%) are incorrect as they do not match the actual unseen portion.

- Correct Answer:

- Option 1: 41 per cent (This is the portion NEVER visible from Earth.)
