What hapenes when there is no moon at night?
Nothing 'happens' - it's just on the opposite side of the earth to where you are.
Why does full moon occur?
This happens when the moon is on the opposite side of the earth from the sun. The moon reflects the light of the sun, and because it is directly opposite, we can see half of it from the earth. This is the half that appears as the full moon.
When is it a full moon?
A full moon occurs when the moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the sun, which happens approximately every 29.5 days. This phase is characterized by the entire illuminated side of the moon being visible from Earth.
At what point in the moon's orbit does the full moon occur?
A full moon occurs when the moon is opposite the sun in its orbit, which is known as the "opposition" phase. This means that the sun, Earth, and moon are all in a straight line, with Earth in the middle.
When the moon is in its new phase what can you infer about the opposite side of the moon?
The far side of the moon is always opposite of the visible side. When the moon is new, it is between the Sun and the earth. Since we see the dark side of the moon, the opposite side must be fully lit by the sun. Likewise when we see a gibbous moon, the far side would be a crescent. When we see a full moon, the far side is in complete darkness.
What happens when the moon is hidden by earths shadow?

What happens on the side of earth opposite of the moon?
On the side of the Earth opposite of the moon, there is a gravitational effect known as the "tidal bulge." This is caused by the moon's gravitational pull creating a slight deformation of the Earth's shape. The water bulges on both sides of the Earth, resulting in high and low tides.
If you were on the moons near side during a new moon how much of the side of earths facing you would be sunlight?
As Earth rotates, the side of Earth that facing the Sun spends more time in daylight, while the opposite is true for the other side.
What the phase that results when the moon is on the opposite side of the earth from the sun?
When it is directly opposite, it would be a Full Moon. But the Moon spends half of its orbit on the side opposite the Sun, which includes all of the Gibbous phases from First Quarter to Last Quarter.
