When you see the moon is full moon?

You can see the moon when it is not full. The sun lights up part of the moon, but if you look carefully when the moon is not full, you can see the darker parts. This is easier when only a small part of the moon appears to be lit, as a brighter moon glares out the darker part making it harder to see.

Why can people see the phases of the moon?

We see the Moon from different angles. When the Moon is opposite to the Sun in the sky, we see the illuminated part. When the Moon is in front of the Sun, we see the dark part. At a 90 degree angle, we see half of the Moon illuminated, and half dark.

Why can we sometimes only see only part of the moon lit up?

We can sometimes see only part of the Moon lit up due to its phases, which are determined by the relative positions of the Earth, Moon, and Sun. As the Moon orbits Earth, different portions of its surface are illuminated by sunlight, resulting in phases such as new moon, crescent, first quarter, gibbous, and full moon. The angle at which sunlight strikes the Moon also affects how much of it appears lit from our perspective on Earth.

Yes, exactly. The part of the Moon we see bright is the part that is exposed to direct sunlight.


Why do you have full moons?

The sun is always shining at the moon. However, sometimes we can only see part of the moon that the sun is shining on. When the sun is behind us and the moon in front of us, we can see all of the part of the moon that the sun is shining on. If the sun is behind us and the moon is to the left or right of us, we can see part of the moon that the sun is shining on and part that it isn't shining on. However, because that part of the moon is so dark, we cant really see it all, so we see a half moon. As the moon orbits the Earth wee see more or less part of it lit up. The moon then seems to disappear altogether, which is because we can't see any part of the moon being lit up. The moon is getting fuller at present, so each night we see a bit more of it lit up. After it is full we will begin to see less of it being lit up.


Why does the moon seem to change shape from night to night?

What changes is the part of the Moon that is illuminated. We see the illuminated part of the Moon better than the dark part.
