you can see the moon in the early morning because some of the suns light is still shining on the moon. In the afternoon you can see the moon because the su is just starting to shed ligt onto the moon well the reason you can see the sun while the moon is out is because Chuck Norris(sun master) and master chief (gladiator of all outer space) are clearly in some sort of conflict, usually over a game of good ol css and the interw3bz were prolly laggin up in dat beezy. you can see the moon when the sun is out because some of the sun is still making it shine nobody has answered this quiestion but me by michela

∙ 12y agoDuring Solar eclipses the Moon comes between the Sun and the Earth, blocking the view of the Sun as seen from Earth; while during Lunar eclipses the Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon, briefly stopping the Sunlight from reaching the surface of the Earth.

∙ 15y agothe moon orbits the earth and the earth rotates on its axis. they turn at different speeds so they sometimes overlap. if they overlap exactly then you get an eclipse.

Why can you see half of the moon sometimes and be able to see the whole moon other times?
You see just that part of the moon that the sun is shinning on.
If the new moon was visible where would you look to see the new moon when it rises?
At new moon, the Moon is right next to the Sun - that is, you see it in the same direction, more or less. At new moon, the Moon rises together with the Sun.
Does the sun and moon spin around the earth?
No, the Earth and the Moon revolve together around the Sun. (The Moon orbits the Earth and both orbit the Sun together.)
Why does the moon's appearance changing during the lunar cycle?
Because the moon is in orbit around the earth and the sun is shining on a certain point of the moon. We can see the changes from our perspective. This is similar to a shadow. Sometimes we can only see a sliver of the moon because the sun is almost directly facing the moon and we can't see that side.
Why does the moon chage its shape?
Contrary to popular belief, the phases of the moon throughout a typical month have nothing at all to do with earth's shadow. The earth's shadow passes over the moon only at the time of full moon, and only rarely does it do that. The various phases of the moon that we observe come about because we are actually seeing the long lunar day (it is equal in length to the moon's phase cycle-- one synodic month) pass over the face of the moon that we can see from earth. It's odd to think of the moon going through a day, but as the moon orbits around earth it stands to reason that we will see the moon changing its relationship with the sun. Sometimes we will see the sun shining more on the face we can see, and sometimes we will see the sun shining on the moon at different angles.
Why do you sometimes see the moon when the sun is in mid sky?
the moon is in the opposite of the sun
How does the sun and moon work together to survive?
The sun makes the moon have different shapes and sometimes the moon looks like nothing.
Why can you see half of the moon sometimes and be able to see the whole moon other times?
You see just that part of the moon that the sun is shinning on.
Can you see the moon and the sun at the same time?
yes,sometimes in the evening
If the new moon was visible where would you look to see the new moon when it rises?
At new moon, the Moon is right next to the Sun - that is, you see it in the same direction, more or less. At new moon, the Moon rises together with the Sun.
How big is the moon and sun together?
If you could compare the sun to the size of a penny, an electronic microscope would be needed to see the moon.
What percent of the moon is always lit?
Unless there is a lunar eclipse, half of the moon is always lit by the sun. Sometimes we see the lit half dead on (full moon), sometimes side on (half moon) and sometimes we don't see any of the lit surface (new moon) - usually we see something in between.
There is no moon when it is?
the reason we sometimes don't see the moon is because the sun is in a posision where the light doesn't reach the moon, there for the light isn't reflected to Earth and we can't see it.
Sentence explaining why the Moon appears to shine at night?
Since the sun has already set on earth when you see the shining moon, the brightly lit moon is just the reflection of the sun's rays off its surface. Sometimes during the day you can see the moon, but generally it is too bright when the sun is up to see the moon's reflected light.
Why can't we always see the moon?
Because the earth is blocking it. Also, we sometimes can't see the new moon, because it is too close to the sun.
Why does the appearance of the moon throughout its cycle?
Because the moon is in orbit around the earth and the sun is shining on a certain point of the moon. We can see the changes from our perspective. This is similar to a shadow. Sometimes we can only see a sliver of the moon because the sun is almost directly facing the moon and we can't see that side.
Why you can see the phases of the moon?
The sun lights the moon and how much sun is on the moon depends on the sun,That iswhy you can see moon phases.
