The Earth would be all the time in the same direction - more or less. It would have about 4 times the apparent diameter the Moon seems to us - about 2 degrees instead of 1/2 degree. You would see the Earth pass through all the phases, similar to the Moon's phases.

The moon orbits which planet?
From the point of view of a person on Earth, the Earth's moon is in orbit around the Earth. From the point of view of a person on the sun, the Earth's moon is in orbit around the sun, and is slightly perturbed in a regular, periodic fashion by the gravitational influence of the nearby Earth.
What position is the moon at when it is full?
At full moon, the Moon is opposite the Sun, from our (Earth's) point of view.
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.
How many days does t take for the moon to do 1 rotation on its axis?
this depends on what you mean. for the moon to return from one phase to the same (for example new to new or full to full) it takes 29.53059 days (29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes and 3 seconds).this accounts for the rotation of the earth. so for all intents and purposes as viewed from the earth's surface- this is the best answer. if you watch and measure from anywhere on earth, this is the duration of one lunar orbit.the nodal month, which is the duration the mood takes to travel from one node of its orbit to the same node is 27.21222 days.this is 'one complete trip' as viewed from anywhere outside the earth as it does not take into account the rotation of the earth. http://wiki.answers.com/../How_many_days_does_it_take_for_the_moon_to_make_a_complete_trip_around_the_earth#ixzz1A02N0O7I
A solar eclipse can only happen during a new moon?
That is because the Moon has to be between the Sun and the Earth, to cover the Sun from our point of view. When this happens, we see the dark side of the Moon - i.e., it is new moon.That is because the Moon has to be between the Sun and the Earth, to cover the Sun from our point of view.

What is the period of revolution for the moon?
From the point of view of a person on earth, the moon's period of rotation on its axis and revolution around earth are both 27.32 days. From the point of view of a person on the moon, the period of rotation on its axis and revolution around earth are both 27.32 [earth] days, and the period of revolution around the sun averages 365.24 earth days.

How long do it take the moon to go round the earth 1 week?
From the point of view of an observer on earth, the moon completes one orbital revolution every 27.32 days.
What is the view of the moon from Earth over a twenty eight day period?
A complete cycle from New Moon through Full Moon back to New Moon.
How long is the moon's rotation?
The rotation of the moon, or the time it takes to rotate on it's axis exactly once, is 27.322 days (rounded), and the moon's orbital period, or the time the moon takes to complete one full revolution around the Earth, is exactly the same. That's why the Moon appears to always show the same face. We see the same side of the moon and never get to view the far side from Earth.
How long do it takes for the moon to rotatearound the earth?
Every 27.3 days. But by the time it does a complete rotation, the earth has moved a bit further in its orbit around the sun. So the moon has to go a bit further to catch-up. That means that as you view it from earth, it looks like every 29.5 days.
Does the moon orbit the earth every 28 days?
Yes it does. It also rotates on its axis once every 28 days - which is why it always shows the same view of the surface..

What is an eclipse that completely blocks view of the sun or moon?
A lunar eclipse is where the moon, earth then sun line up so the earth's shadow is cast over the moon, making it look invisible. This happens approximately every 28 days when we get a 'new moon' which is the same thing. A solar eclipse is where the earth, moon then sun line up so the majority of the sun is obscured by the moon so it looks as though the silhouette of the moon has a halo. This is one of the rare occasions where the conditions of night time can be felt in the day. When the totality occurs, only the corona can be seen from earth.
Can you view the moon from any position earth?
yes you can.
What instrument used to view the moon from Earth?
telescope
