The moon shows up whenever the light reflected from its surface is strong enough to be seen ... you need to pay more attention to the sky if you think it's only visible at night!

Why dont you ever get to see the dark side of the moon?

The best, most literally accurate answer to that question is: "Because it's dark".Parts of the moon's dark side ranging from 'none of it' to 'all of it' are turned toward us in the course of 29-1/2 days.But we can only see the portion of the moon that the sun shines on ... the "light side". The portion of the dark sidethat's turned toward us doesn't show up at all. That's why we see only part of a disk, and the rest of it is missing.


Why does the moon have a dark side but the earth doesn't?

Why can you only see portions of the moon from earth?

Only half of the moon is illuminated by the sun with the rest in shadow. Try it with a ball in a dark room, with one light source - the half facing the light source will be lit up, while the opposite side will be dark. It's the same with the moon. As the moon moves around us, we see the different phases from full moon to new moon, depending on our relative position with the sun and moon.


What would the moon look like if it did not reflect light from the sun?
