When moon looks like a lighted circle?

When the moon appears as a lighted circle in the sky, it is known as a full moon. This occurs when the Earth is directly between the sun and the moon, causing the entire face of the moon visible from the Earth to be illuminated. Full moons are known for their brightness and are a beautiful sight to behold in the night sky.


What is the moon phase where you see less of the lighted side of the moon?

The moon phase where you see less of the lighted side 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 sunlight to face away from Earth. As a result, the moon appears mostly dark and is often not visible in the night sky.


Why can't you see a lighted moon at one stage in the lunar cycle?

Why do we think we see phases of the moon?
