there's not just one time - depending on where you are on Earth, you can see a full moon once every month, at the beginning of each lunar phase.

Why you can see only one side of moon?
The moon rotates on it's axis within the same period of time the moon orbits the earth, therefore only the "near side" of the moon can be seen from Earth. Technically the moon's "year" and the moon's "day" are equal length.
Why can only some of the moon be seen at one time?
Half of the moon is always lit up by the sun at any given time, and the moon orbits the Earth so us observers on Earth will see different amounts of the moon lit up. These different "shapes" we see are called the phases of the moon.
Does a solar eclipse occurs on a new moon day?
That's the only time when the moon is on-line between the Sun and Earth, so it's the only time when the moon's shadow can hit the Earth's surface.
How does the moon position change?
The Moon's position changes due to Gravity. The Moon revolves around earth. However, due to earth's axis we see the moon many different positions during the year, that we would not normally see. This is also responsible for eclipses. Which can only be seen on certain parts of earth, also because of the axis.A2.As the earth spins on it's axis, the moon appears to move across the night sky against a backdrop of stars.The next day, the same thing happens but the moon follows a slightly different path. This is because the moon is also moving around the earth, in an orbit.As the moon orbits the earth it presents a different angle to the sun. This causes the reflection to shine from a different edge, causing the phases of the moon.Inevitably there will be a time when the moon gets betwen the sun and the earth and causes a shadow to pass over the earth's surface. This is an eclipse. Each time a shadow is cast, it tracks across a different part of the earth and only from this path, can a full eclipse be seen.
What is a pedigree moon?
The time when the earth feels the most pressure from the moon; the time when the moon is closest to the earth.

Why does the moon seen during the night time?
The Moon Is Seen At Night From Earth because, When The Sky Is Dark, So Is The Atmosphere, And The Moon Is Very Bright Compared To The Black Atmosphere, Same Reason The Earth Is Seen From The Moon. :)

Why cant the moon be seen from earth in day time?
The moon can only be seen at night because the sun's rays reflect off of it's surface. But during the day, the moon is much more dull than the sky and the sun by comparison.
What does the moon is bigger than eye can see mean?
One man is only capable of seeing one side of the moon at a time, and only astronauts have seen the side that faces away from Earth.
What is the face in which a solar eclipse can happen?
As seen by a person on the surface of the earth, a solar eclipsecan only occur at the time of New Moon.
What is name of the only natural saltellite that earth has?
The only natural satellite the earth has is the moon. Earth's gravity is what keeps the moon from floating away. though in time (not for a long time though) the moon will disappear.
Why are astronauts the only people to see the far side of the moon?
Only the ones that went around the moon actually have seen it. No one else can see it because the same face is shown to the Earth all the time.

That's the only time when the moon is on-line between the Sun and Earth, so it's the only time when the moon's shadow can hit the Earth's surface.
Why can you only see one side of the moon and never see the dark side?
The reason that no one on earth has ever seen the other side of the moon, is because the moon also rotates on its axis, in exactly the same amount of time that it takes to do one revolution of the earth. Th result of this is that as the moon revolves on its axis and at the same time orbits around the earth it always keeps showing the same face to the earth. (Puting aside the natural disasters that would happen for a moment) if you were to hold the moon in place, rather then have it orbit the earth, the moon would be seen to rotate, and we would see all sides of it.
What is the difference between the lunar eclipse and solor eclipse?
In a lunar eclipse the Earth is in the middle and blocks the Sun's light from the Moon, so that happens always at Full Moon but not every time. A solar eclipse has the Moon in the middle so it happens at New Moon, but not every time, and the Moon is not big enough to shadow the whole Earth so a solar eclipse is seen only in a strip across the Earth's surface.
How can it be daylight on one part of the earth and night time on another time?
Because the sun is on it's position it can only rotates ,And the Earth moves every 24 hours, so the suns light can only be seen on one side of the Earth.and on the other side the moon is seen. omg I am a12 years old girl and can answer that.
