Why you see different shapes of moon every night from the earth?
because the moon is rotating too so you see a different area each night
Why does the moon look different as it orbits around the earth?
The moon looks different as it orbits the earth because different portions of it are lit up by the sun and visible to the earth. Half of the moon is always lit by the sun, and half is always facing earth, and when those two halves overlap it creates the portion visible to us.
Why does the full moon rise into the sky?
The moon doesn't technically "rise" in the sky. It is circling the Earth. This is why each night it is in a different spot in the sky.
Why does the moon rise at a different place on the horizon each night?
The Moon is orbiting Earth, so its position is changing all of the time. So it is in a new position when it rises from one night to another.
Why is the moon not always visible in the night sky?
The moon is not always visible because the moon has a daily motion of about 25 hours so it will appear in different locations in the sky each day.
Why does moon look different on different night?
You are probably looking at the moon with a different perspective each night, but the face of the moon doesn't change; Only the lighting of the moon changes.
Does the moon have day and night if so why?
Just like the earth, the moon has a side that faces the sun (day) and a side that faces away from the sun (night). During a full moon, the side of the moon that faces the earth is lit by the sun and appears in daylight whereas the side of the moon that faces away from the earth is in shadow (night). During a new moon, the opposite is true. The side of the moon that faces the earth is in shadow (night) and the side that faces away from the earth is exposed to the sun (day).

Do you see the same side of the moon each night?
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)
What are the faces on the moon at night?
The "faces" are just "wrinkles," or imperfections, on the moon. The moon is like the earth and has valleys, and mountains. From far, far away, we see "faces" because of the wrinkles.
Can all of the moon phases be seen at the same time?
No, each one of the moon's phases appears on a different night.
What changes making us see different moon phases throughout each month?
The position of the Earth, Moon, and the SunHow much of the sunlit side of the Moon faces the Earth

When does full moon happens?
When the side of the moon that faces Earth (the same side of the moon always faces Earth) is fully bathed in sunlight. The Moon experiences day and night cycles, but it takes 28 days for the moon to complete a day/night cycle because of the Moon's relatively slow spin (which is what keeps the same side of the Moon facing Earth).

Why does the moon come up later the night after the full moon?
The moon orbits the earth, therefore it will always be in a different spot each day or night so will rise later each day by 48 minutes. This also affects what time the moon will set and when it will reach it's highest point in the sky.
