The "faces" are just "wrinkles," or imperfections, on the moon. The moon is like the earth and has valleys, and mountains. From far, far away, we see "faces" because of the wrinkles.

Does the moon have day and night if so why?

Just like the earth, the moon has a side that faces the sun (day) and a side that faces away from the sun (night). During a full moon, the side of the moon that faces the earth is lit by the sun and appears in daylight whereas the side of the moon that faces away from the earth is in shadow (night). During a new moon, the opposite is true. The side of the moon that faces the earth is in shadow (night) and the side that faces away from the earth is exposed to the sun (day).


A full moon happens when?

When the side of the moon that faces Earth (the same side of the moon always faces Earth) is fully bathed in sunlight. The Moon experiences day and night cycles, but it takes 28 days for the moon to complete a day/night cycle because of the Moon's relatively slow spin (which is what keeps the same side of the Moon facing Earth).

Why do you see different faces of the moon each night?

The different faces of the Moon that we see each night are due to its phases, which result from its position relative to the Earth and the Sun. As the Moon orbits the Earth, sunlight illuminates different portions of its surface, creating phases such as the new moon, crescent, first quarter, gibbous, and full moon. This cycle takes about 29.5 days to complete, leading to the varying appearance of the Moon over the course of the month.
