The moon orbits the earth. When you can not see it, it is on the other side of the earth. That happens once a day as the earth spins on its axis.

Why cant humans see the moon rotate?
The moon rotates in about the same time it takes for it to orbit us. For this reason, we always see the same side of the moon facing us. In truth we can see a little bit more than half of moon during its orbit. With very close observation, such as that done by professional astronomers, it would be seen to be rotating slightly.
How can the moon and the stars tell us that the earth moving?
if the moon is in orbit but we were not, then we would see different sides of the moon. because we are in orbit too, we always see the same side.
What phrase is the moon when you cant see it?

How do we see crescent moon?

That's at the "new" moon, when the Moon is very close to the Sun.
How can you see the moon orbit the earth?
You can't. You just see it in different places.
Does the orbit of the earth affect how you see the moon?
Nothing effects it.
What effect does the Moon's and earth's orbit have on the moon phases and the way we see them?

What is it called when you cant see the moon at all?

Is the moon getting out of orbit?
the moon is moving 3 centimeters a year....so, in a LONG time there will be no moon. And we cant live without it...but most of you who are reading this will be long gone!
Where is the moon when you can see a new moon?
In space. Comment: It's hard to disagree with that. The answer you need is that the Moon is between the Sun and Earth. The alignment isn't usually exact because the Moon's orbit is tilted relative to the Earth's orbit around the Sun. Incidentally, you can't actually see the Moon when it's New Moon.
