you can frum the sun but im not sure bout the moon
Thanks
In my question, I was hoping that you might get even a hint of where say north is by the direction of the moons crescent or it's position.
As you can tell north by the position of the sun, perhaps you can get an indication of the sun from the sun light being reflected from a half moon?
Position of the Moon/ An Hour Glass A 'layered lit candle'. Each layer , which are of contrasting colours, burns down on one hour. Before clocks etc., people went bed/sleep as the Sun set and arose , when the Sun rises.
The moon's position in the sky changes constantly due to its orbit around Earth. It can be located at different points in the sky depending on the time of day and your location on Earth. Astronomical apps or websites can provide real-time information about the moon's current position.
You can infer the position of the sun based on the lighting and shadows visible on the moon's surface. If the sunlit area is on the right side of the moon in the picture, then the sun is located to the moon's right in the sky. This helps determine the relative positions of the sun and the moon at the time the image was taken.
No, the position of the Moon and the Sun as OBSERVED from the Earth.
You can tell time by observing the position of the sun in the sky. The sun rises in the east and moves westward across the sky, reaching its highest point at solar noon. By noting the direction of the sun and estimating its angle above the horizon, you can approximate the time.
The sun and moon, largely.
The moon's shape would change with the impact of meteor's, changing the moon's landscape.

The y-intercept on a position vs. time graph represents the initial position where the object started. It is the value of the position when time is zero.
yes the moon phases are predictable because you can tell when a moon phase will appear by knowing what time of month it is.
Of course. 50% of the moon is always illuminated. At the time of New Moon, however, we on Earth are in a position from which we can't see any of it.
Noon
Probably by the position of the sun.

The Solar System doesn't tell time; we tell time, based on the movement of objects in the sky. Basically the time is based on the position of the Sun in the sky.
