How come you cannot see the moon some nights?
Sometimes, it's simply just too cloudy to see the moon. Sometimes, there's a lunar eclipse, and for x minutes, the moon appears to not exist.
Why does cloudy nights have higher temperature than clear nights?
Clear nights often mean high pressure sytems which often means cold air. Cloudy nights often mean low pressure systems which often mean warm air.
What does the moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy sea mean?
To the person writing this, the moon looked like a ship (galleon) moving on clouds that were like a rough sea.
Why are some nights darker than others?
The answer depends on where you live and how much light pollution there is. In areas with few artificial lights (street lights, house lights) then if the moon's not visible then it will be dark, if the moon AND the stars arent visible (like due to clouds) then it will be darker, still. In cities, clouds usually reflect the light from street lights back down to the earth so depending on how much your city/town is lit up, it might actually be brighter on a cloudy night!
Are cloudy nights usually warmer or colder than clear nights?
Warmer, they have a greenhouse effect and trap heat.
Were there nights you could not see the moon?
Yes, and there still will be. Cloudy nights can obscure the moon. Depending on the phases, a new Moon will not be visible as the Sun isn't shining on the half that you can see. Finally, although rare, lunar eclipses (where the Earth is directly between the Sun and the Moon) hide the Moon.
