What can determine moon phase?
The position of the earth and moon on their orbit around the sun, determines how much and what area of the moon is lit by sunlight. The moon's phases are what we can view from the earth.
Are lots of stars visible during the first quarter of the moon?
Yes, during the first quarter of the moon, only half of the moon is illuminated, so it doesn't produce much light pollution, allowing more stars to be visible in the night sky. This phase of the moon typically occurs in the early evening, before it sets, offering a good view of the stars.

Does the moon orbit cause night and day?
The Earth spinning every 24 hours causes day and night. The Moon has nothing to do with causing day or night. In fact, the moon spends just as much time in the daytime sky every month as it does in the night-time sky.
What is the difference in temperature on a clear night and cloudy night?
On a clear night, temperatures tend to drop more rapidly as heat escapes into the atmosphere. Cloudy nights act as a blanket, trapping some heat and causing temperatures to not drop as much as on clear nights. This can result in warmer temperatures on cloudy nights compared to clear nights.
Why does the moon and the sun appear in the day sky and the moon is not full?
The Moon rises about 50 minutes later each night. After a few weeks, it is logically rising in the morning, and crossing the sky during the day. As the month goes on, it eventually is rising at night again. The moons movements are independent of the sun. Though day length varies, the sun is always up during the "day", and gone at night. Not so the moon.
