Yes, there is only one "space".
No, the moon moves around the Earth as the Earth moves around the Sun and the Sun moves around the Galaxy. When it is Full moon. The Moon is further from the sun than the Earth, When it is the first "half moon" the moon is where the earth will be in about half an hour (but by then the moon will also have moved in more or less the same direction). When it is a "New moon" the moon is closer to the sun than the Earth at that moment. When in the "last half" the Moon is "behind" the Earth, where the Earth was half an hour ago. Mean inclination of the moon's orbit to the solar systems ecliptic is about 5°. The tilt of the Earth with respect to the ecliptic is about 23° so the moon can appear to be in places in the sky that the sun cannot.

∙ 13y agoNo it does not stay in one place. The moon revolves around the Earth and the Earth is revolving around the sun. It is moving very fast, but because the Earth moves with it, it is hard to judge how fast it is going.

∙ 14y agoRegardless of what phase it happens to be in at the time, the moon rises from the east side of
the sky, crosses the sky, and sets on the west side, being in the sky for roughly 12-1/2 out of
every 25 hours. So it's essentially correct to say that every phase of the moon can be seen in
every part of the sky, if one only knows when and where to look for it.

∙ 11y agoNO, because of how we look at the lit part of the moon!
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoNo. The moon rises in the east, crosses the sky, and sets in the west, roughly 29 times every month.

What are the phases of the moon and what causes the moon to appear to change?
The phases of the moon are The phases of the moon appear to change because the earth rotates on it's axis and the moon orbits the earth. The sunlight hits a different part of the moon that is visible to us. Half of the moon is always lit up, you just can't always see it.
Is the moon going to be bigger than usual tonight?
The moon is always the same size it may appear bigger because more of the sun's light is shining on it, but no the moon does not "grow" or "shrink".
Why does the earth always remains in about the same position in the lunar sky?
The Moon rotates once per orbit, and has the same side of the Moon always facing the Earth. So looking at the Earth from the Moon, it's always in pretty much the same place.Because the Moon rotates at a constant speed but follows an elliptical orbit, there is a little variation; over the course of several months, the Earth would appear to "wobble" a little in the lunar "sky", and would appear to get somewhat smaller and larger as the Moon recedes from the Earth and then gets closer.
