That's at the "new" moon, when the Moon is very close to the Sun.
Its not that it's some where else its because, when you can not see it it's dark side is facing the Earth.
When we are facing away from the Moon we are in daylight but for the other side of the world who are facing towards the Moon it is night time and that is when we can't see the Moon at all.
If you can't see the moon one of two things have happened. 1. It is behind a heap of clouds. 2. It was a wanning moon. This means that the moon has gone around in its orbit to the point of where the sun can no longer shine on it so it can't reflect the sunlight therefore we can't see it.
New Moon, they call it.
It is called a new moon.
New Moon.. Learn your astrology.
The moon is still present in the sky even when you cannot see it. Its position changes based on its orbit around the Earth, and factors like its phase and time of day affect its visibility to observers on Earth.
In a clear sky you might not see the Moon because of the rotation of the Earth on its axis. The Moon will rise about 50 minutes later each day due to its orbit around the Earth, so it will depend on both the time of day and where it is in its monthly orbit.
The phase of the moon when we cannot see it at all is called the "New Moon." During this phase, the moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun, causing the side of the moon that is illuminated by the Sun to face away from Earth. As a result, the moon appears dark and is not visible from our planet.
Yes, it rotates once with each orbit of the earth. That is why we see the same side of the moon all the time.
whichever part you see
By the sunlight reflected off the Moon's surface and the position of the Moon on its orbit.
