Why do lunar eclipses happen at night?
When you see a lunar eclipse, it's always at night on your part of the earth. -- A lunar eclipse can only occur at the exact time of the Full Moon. -- The Full Moon is visible only in the night sky. So obviously, if you are in a place where you can see the Full Moon, then you are in a place where you can see a lunar eclipse if one is in progress, and it is night-time where you are.
Why do the sun and the moon live in the sky?

Is the moon always in the night sky in Great Britain If it is then is it visible in the southern hemisphere If it is not visible every night in Great Britain then why not Intrigues you?
The Moon isn't always in the night sky in Great Britain.That's not just because it's often cloudy!The reason is simply that it spends half its time in the daylight sky.That's because it orbits the Earth once about every 27 days, roughly.Exactly when the Moon is visible at night depends, amongst other things, on the observer's latitude.However, generally speaking if it is visible in the northern hemisphere it's visible at most places in the Southern hemisphere at the same local time of night.I suppose the question could be about whether the Moon is visible at some time during every night. In that case, of course, you get a different answer.The Moon is often visible in the daylight sky, especially when it is not very close to the Sun. Around the time of the new Moon the Moon is closest to the Sun. So not only is the brightness of the Sun obscuring our view of the Moon, but this is also the time when little or no reflected light reaches us from the Moon.

Why would you choose this topic does the moon rise every night at the same time and in the same location in the sky?
No. Moonrise can occur day or night. The moon is not related to the sun at all. Since our way of measuring time is relative to the sun, the moon does not rise at the same time every time.
