No matter what the phase of the Moon, the Moon is only above the horizon for half of the time. When the Moon is above the horizon, you won't be able to see it if there are obstructions such as trees or buildings, or on a cloudy day. That's pretty obvious.
If the Moon is up and the sky is clear, you can see the Moon. The only time that you would have difficulty seeing the Moon would be during the daylight hours for a day or two either side of the "new" moon, when it is too close to the Sun to be distinct.
What else can I help you with?
Are there times other than the new moon when the moon cant be seen?
Sure. When it's on the opposite side of the Earth, for example.
What can be seen from earth's orbit other than the moon?
The moon's phases can be seen from the earth, but not by an observer on the moon. Similarly, the earth's phases can be seen from the moon, but not by an observer on the earth.
Do you only see the moon at night?
No. At certain times the moon can be seen in the early morning or late afternoon.
Why cant the moon be seen from earth in day time?
The moon can only be seen at night because the sun's rays reflect off of it's surface. But during the day, the moon is much more dull than the sky and the sun by comparison.
What is this famous Chinese landmark built more than 2000 year ago can even be seen from the moon?
No Chinese, or other, man made structure can be seen from the moon. This is a popular but mistaken belief. The re are sections that can be seen from about 100 km up but the moon is 2,000 times that distance.
Have you ever seen both sides of the moon?
No. The other half of the moon is called 'the invisable'
Why the new moon can't be seen in the sky?
A new moon can't be seen in the night sky because the sun is shinning on the other side. Remember the moon is rotating.
Why do most people notice when the moon enters the penumbra?
because its the earths shadow. it cant be seen fom earth ..
Why is one phase of the moon always seen?
All you have to do is find the moon and glance at it briefly, a few times over a period of a month,to see that no single phase of the moon is "always" seen. It changes constantly.
Why can't the new moon be seen in the night sky?
A new moon can't be seen in the night sky because the sun is shinning on the other side. Remember the moon is rotating.
How does the sun's position determine if there is a new moon or full moon?
because the sun is reflecting on to the moon and the is moon orbiting the earth so the moon is seen at differant times in differant places.
What is the angular diameter of Earth as seen from the moon?
Since Earth has about 4 times the diameter of the Moon, the angular diameter of Earth, as seen from the Moon, is about 4 times larger than the angular diameter of the Moon, as seen from Earth. Since the Moon's angular diameter as seen from here is about half a degree, that would make Earth's angular diameter about 2 degrees.If you wish, you can look up more exact figures and do more precise calculations, but it is hardly worth the trouble, since there is some variation in the distance from Earth to Moon anyway.
