Why we see the moon at night?
We see the moon during the day, too. The reason we can see the moon is because it is large and close to Earth. As such, it reflects a portion of the sunlight which lands upon it down toward our planet. The angle of the sun upon the moon's surface, as seen from the Earth, is also what's responsible for the phases of the moon.
Why does the moon revolve around the earth instead of falling like an apple?
In a sense, it is falling toward earth, but its orbital velocity causes it to miss from moment to moment. The moon is in a stable orbit around the earth, and that is due in part to the gravitational pull between the earth and moon, and in part to the moon's own velocity as it travels in its orbit. If we could put some unimaginably powerful rockets on the moon that would push sideways (not down toward earth) in such a way that the moon's orbital velocity would slow a great deal, then the moon WOULD fall to earth, and it would cause more trouble than a falling apple.
How will the Earth rotate without moon?
The Earth's rotation is not dependent on the Moon; without the Moon, the Earth would still rotate. However, the Moon's gravitation gradually slows down Earth's rotation, so without the Moon, it is possible that Earth would now be rotating faster.The Earth's rotation is not dependent on the Moon; without the Moon, the Earth would still rotate.

Would the moon be coming up at night or going down?
The moon is actually moving around in a circle around us, but due to our earth being slightly tilted, we see it as going up or down. So the answer to question is that it is going sideways.
Why moon rotates slower than earth?
The influence of the Earth has slowed down the rotation of the moon.
Why does the moon not fall down?
The moon orbits the earth, it could be said that it is falling down, but it keeps missing the earth. (Over simplified).
What does the Moon go down?
The Moon doesn't go down anything. The Earth turns on its axis and so we no longer see the Moon,
Is it true that the force of friction pulls the moon and earth toward each other?
No, friction is the resistance on a moving object that acts to slow it down, there is no friction in space. Gravity is the force that causes all bodies with mass to attract to each other, this includes the moon and earth. An example of this is the tides, the tides are effected by the pull of the gravity from the moon.
What do you think would happen if the moon has greater gravitational force than the earth?
A single body doesn't have a gravitational force. The force only shows up when there are two bodies. It pulls both of them toward each other, and they both feel the same force. The force between you and the earth is called your "weight", and it holds you down. The force between the earth and the moon is what keeps the moon in its orbit.
Will there be aliens coming down to earth?
yes i have seen it on google earth
Why you always see the same sides of the moon?
Relative to the Earth, the Moon makes one rotation every 27.32 days. That happens to also be the time it takes for the Moon to complete one revolution around the Earth. Therefore the same side of the moon is more or less always pointed toward the Earth and we only see that same side.The moon orbits around the earth once every month. It happens that the rotation of the moon on its axis is tidally locked with the earth. This means that the moon's rotational period is equal to its orbital period around the earth. For every monthly revolution around the earth, the moon has one rotation on its axis. So wherever the moon happens to be in its orbit, the moon has rotated enough so that the same face (for the most part) is toward the earth. There is an interesting phenomenon called libration (an apparent motion, not a true motion) that makes the moon appear to swing a little back and forth, and up and down. But on average, there is one rotation for every revolution. If this were not true, every part of the moon's surface would face earth at one time or another.
