Day and night, and the Moon's faces, sentence 4

The Moon spins exactly once for each trip round the Earth, so we always see the same face, and its far side is not dark at all: it gets just as much sunshine.

Who acts: Moon, we, far side · What happens: spin, see, not be, get · To what, where: same face, all, much sunshine
