its dark
you can see the moon because the sun is not hitting the earth war the moon is hitting.
because it reflects
The Moon reflects the Suns' light, ergo: making you able to see the Moon.
Look up at the sky at night. You should be able to see it
It reflects light from the sun.
Yes ya you just see different portions and shadows of the moon. That's why there is the expression 'dark side of the moon' because it is always the same side that they are talking about (the side that always faces the sun)
Not necessarily. Think about it... if you can see a full moon in the middle of the night, then someone on the moon would be able to see your part of the earth.... which would be in darkness.
The moon's appearance changes each night because of its orbit around the Earth. As the moon moves, the amount of sunlight that reflects off its surface changes, causing different portions of the moon to be visible from Earth. This creates the different phases of the moon that we see throughout the month.
Any person on earth can see the phase of the moon by looking for the moon in the night sky. The only reason you would not be able to determine the phase of the moon by observational means would be if the night sky was obscured by clouds.
They happen in space, on the Moon - but since it only happens at the full moon, you will only be able to see one during the night.
The changing appearance of the moon is due to its orbit around the Earth. As the moon moves in its orbit, the angle between the sun, Earth, and moon changes, causing different portions of the moon to be illuminated and visible from Earth. This creates the phases of the moon that we see from Earth.
