because that side is the side earth is facing
A half moon appears when only half of the moon's illuminated side is visible from Earth. This occurs when the moon is at a 90-degree angle relative to the Earth and the sun, known as the first quarter or third quarter moon.
There are 3 adjective phrases and 1 adverb phrase. Adjective Phrases : 1. around the Earth - modifies orbit 2. of the illuminated side - modifies part 3. of the Moon - modifies side Adverb Phrase: in its orbit (in its orbit around the Earth) - modifies around
1. because sun light followed on moon, its seen to 1-15 days regularly rotation of moon and after than ought to not drop sun light on moon its no visible. 2. because the moon rotates around the earth 12 times a year and gets alined with the earth and the sun and becomes a full moon
There are several reasons the moon may not be visible: 1) It is over the horizon from the person observing it - past their line of sight 2) The view of the moon is blocked by something such as clouds (or walls if you are inside) 3) During a "new moon" the side of the moon that is illuminated is opposite the side that would be observed from the surface of the earth - and it is rising and setting with the sun. The moon may still receive a small amount of light reflected from the earth, but under these conditions, the moon is not visible because without that illumination from the sun, the sun is so much brighter than the feeble re-reflected light (from the sun to the earth to the moon) that the moon is not visible. A dramatic example of this is when the moon lines up with the sun to produce a solar eclipse.

There are three: 1. around the Earth 2. of the illuminated side 3. of the Moon
A half moon appears when only half of the moon's illuminated side is visible from Earth. This occurs when the moon is at a 90-degree angle relative to the Earth and the sun, known as the first quarter or third quarter moon.
The New Moon occurs when the Moon is on the Sun side of Earth. It is the opposite of a full-moon. There are two reasons you might be able to see it. 1. During Moon rise or Moon set, the lighted part of the moon could be visible from your location. 2. Light reflected from the Earth could be sufficient to light the Moon enough to be seen via Earth-light.

There are 8 "named" phases of the Moon, representing the portion of its sunlit surface that is visible from Earth. (Whether the progression is from right to left, or left to right, depends on whether you are north or south of the Equator) New moon (Not visible or very barely visible) Waxing Crescent moon (1-49% visible) First Quarter moon (50% visible) Waxing gibbous moon (51-99% visible) Full Moon (Fully visible) Waning gibbous Moon (51-99% visible, opposite side of face from Waxing) Last Quarter Moon (50% visible, opposite half from that visible on First Quarter) Waning Crescent Moon (1-49% visible)

The Earth and Moon appear the same size in the sky when viewed from Earth because the Moon is about 1/4 the size of Earth and is about 1/4 as far away from Earth as the Earth is from the Moon. This alignment creates the illusion that they have the same apparent size.
The Phases of the moon are caused by the sun shining on one side of the moon- the other side is in shadow. When the moon is beside the earth with the sun shining on half of it, you will see a 1/2 full moon.
A crescent is 1/4 of a full moon while a Gibbous is 3/4 of a full moon.
Tidal forces cause the moon to be in a 1 to 1 resonance with the earth.
