Yes ya you just see different portions and shadows of the moon. That's why there is the expression 'dark side of the moon' because it is always the same side that they are talking about (the side that always faces the sun)

When less and less of the lighted side of the moon becomes visible each night it is a what?
A waning moon
When less and less of lighted side of the moon becomes visible each night it called?
The moon changing phases. Phasing as some call it.=====================================A waining moon. (The opposite - when the moon gets bigger each night is called a waxing moon).
When does full moon happens?
When the side of the moon that faces Earth (the same side of the moon always faces Earth) is fully bathed in sunlight. The Moon experiences day and night cycles, but it takes 28 days for the moon to complete a day/night cycle because of the Moon's relatively slow spin (which is what keeps the same side of the Moon facing Earth).

Does the moon have day and night if so why?
Just like the earth, the moon has a side that faces the sun (day) and a side that faces away from the sun (night). During a full moon, the side of the moon that faces the earth is lit by the sun and appears in daylight whereas the side of the moon that faces away from the earth is in shadow (night). During a new moon, the opposite is true. The side of the moon that faces the earth is in shadow (night) and the side that faces away from the earth is exposed to the sun (day).
What color is the dark side of the moon?
There is no dark side, the moon is similar in colours all over its surface.
What side of the moon are you seeing the new Moon phase?
night side
Is a different of the moon surface visible at each full moon?
Nope! We always see the same side of the moon, even if it is a full moon.
Why does the full moon rise at the same time when the sun goes down?
To be full moon, the Moon has to be opposite the Sun - that way, we see the whole of the illuminated side. The only way for the moon to be on the opposite side of earth is for it to be on the night side. Thus the full moon cannot be out during the day.
Do we always see the same side of the Moon How do you know?
We do not always see the same side of the moon, because while its orbiting the Earth, it is also rotating on its axis, as does Earth. The rotation of the Earth on its axis is what causes night and day.
What moon features exists on the dark and light areas of the moon?
All of them. The Moon does not have a "dark side" and a "light side". It does have a "nearside" and a 'far side", but the Moon has 29 day cycles of sunlight and night - except that on the night side of the Moon, it is illuminated by the nearly full Earth.
What moon feature exists on both dark and light area of the moon?
All of them. The Moon does not have a "dark side" and a "light side". It does have a "nearside" and a 'far side", but the Moon has 29 day cycles of sunlight and night - except that on the night side of the Moon, it is illuminated by the nearly full Earth.
