Barb,
I don't believe what you say is totally correct. The one side is always
facing the earth but the sunlight does not always fall on the same place,
(there is no light side) that's how we see full moon and new moon etc. Also
the atmosphere is not bad there just isn't any but there is gravity only it
is low.
