You don't. If you know where to look, you can often see the moon in the daytime, and it's not always up at night either.
The moon is not always visible at night. If the moon is in conjunction with the sun, it will be a "new moon" and will be very hard to see. Waning crescent moons cannot be seen at night, only in the morning.
what determines the portion of the moon that you see at night
Half of the moon is always lit. Due to it's position in relation to the sun and the earth, we see a different moon every night.
When you see a lunar eclipse, it's always at night on your part of the earth. -- A lunar eclipse can only occur at the exact time of the Full Moon. -- The Full Moon is visible only in the night sky. So obviously, if you are in a place where you can see the Full Moon, then you are in a place where you can see a lunar eclipse if one is in progress, and it is night-time where you are.
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)
We do not always see the same side of the moon, because while its orbiting the Earth, it is also rotating on its axis, as does Earth. The rotation of the Earth on its axis is what causes night and day.
Anywhere that it is night. inless if it is a new moon then you can not see the moon.
To see in the Night :) See "do we really need the moon?"
no
Yeesss..
Yes, yes you can. It doesn't matter what kind of moon it is--you can always see it if you know where to look. However, new moons are very difficult to see, because no light shines on them.
This is always a moon, whether you can see it or not! However, given that you can see the moon at night and also, sometimes, in the daytime, you can therefore definitely also see it at twilight, given the right conditions.
