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 you see the moon in night only?
If you only see the moon at night, the only possible reason is that you're not looking for it during the day. The moon is in the sky roughly 12 hours and 25 minutes out of every 24 hours. During a period of 29.5 days, it's in the daytime sky for exactly as much time as in the night-time sky.
What is the half moon?
This is when you can only see half a moon out at night.
Why do you see the moon every night?
The moon is not always visible at night. If the moon is in conjunction with the sun, it will be a "new moon" and will be very hard to see. Waning crescent moons cannot be seen at night, only in the morning.
Do you see the moon at the same time every night?
no
When do you see a moon?

What time is it most likely to see a lunar eclipse?
Night-time. If you can see a lunar eclipse, then the Full Moon is in your sky, so it has to be night-time.
Why can you see the moon at night?
You can see the moon at night because it reflects light from the sun. Even though the sun has set and it is dark on Earth, the moon's surface still reflects enough sunlight to be visible in the night sky.
Does the moon change shape at night?
The moon never changes shape only the light you can see.
Why can you see the full moon only at night?
Because this is how the moon cycle works: MOON---EARTH---SUN=full moon EARTH---MOON---SUN=new moon. So, when you see the moon during the daytime, it's because its orbit is interfering with the Sun's. But during a full moon, when the moon is behind the Earth, it cannot interfere. See?
Does a lunar eclipse happen during night?
They happen in space, on the Moon - but since it only happens at the full moon, you will only be able to see one during the night.
How often during a one month time span do you think you can see the moon during the entire night?
The entire night? Only one night, during the full moon, when the Moon rises at sunset and sets at sunrise. However, the Moon is generally visible in the daytime as well, except for a day either side of the new moon.
