It means we are not able to see the rest of it because the Earth is blocking the light from the Sun.
When the moon is a complete circle, it is called a full moon. This occurs when the Earth is between the sun and the moon, with the side of the moon facing Earth fully illuminated by the sun.
That's a full moon.
When the moon is not a complete circle, it is in a phase other than full moon. The different phases of the moon, such as crescent, quarter, or gibbous, are a result of its changing position relative to the sun and Earth, causing varying amounts of the moon's illuminated surface to be visible from Earth.
The moon orbits the earth almost a complete circle.
A full moon is a moon that appears as a complete circle in the sky, when the Earth is positioned between the sun and the moon, illuminating the entire near side of the moon.
The moon appears as a bright circle during the full moon phase. This occurs when the Earth is directly between the sun and moon, with the sun fully illuminating the side of the moon facing Earth, making it appear as a complete circle.
When the moon looks like a complete circle, it is called a full moon. This phase occurs when the Earth is positioned between the sun and the moon, allowing the sun's light to fully illuminate the moon's surface as viewed from Earth. Full moons typically occur once a month and are often associated with various cultural and natural phenomena.
What do you mean "if it could"? The Moon does circle the Sun, together with planet Earth. Once a year.
The moon can look like a semicircle, a fingernail crescent, a gibbous (egg shaped moon) and of course it can look like a complete circle.
To make a complete change
The full moon phase comes after the first quarter moon. The full moon appears as a complete circle in the sky, with the sun illuminating the entire side facing Earth.
It means to turn it without it going in a complete circle
