Ok - you ready? The moon orbits Earth completely once every 4 weeks (a month or "moonth"). When the moon is between Earth and the sun, it's called the "new" moon and we can't see it because the sun's glare makes it impossible to see. As the moon goes around the Earth it slowly moves from right to left, or west to east. As the moon begins to move away from the sun, you can barely begin to see a thin slice of it - a crescent, which is near the sun. It sets just after the sun sets. As it moves farther east, away from the sun, we begin to see more of it - it "waxes". 1 week after the crescent, it's now a First Quarter Half Moon - it's high in the south at sunset. 1 week after that, it's a full moon and it rises in the east at sunset. The full moon is always opposite the sun and it been a total of 2 weeks, so far. After the full moon, it continues to orbit Earth and is now moving towards the sun. As it does this, it gets smaller -or "wanes". 1 week after the full moon, it's a Half Moon again, only it rises a lot later than sunset. and 1 week after that, it's moving into the sun's glare again and becomes a "New Moon" again. That's 4 weeks total - one month or "moonth" and the cycle begins again.
As the Moon and Earth orbit each other, the moon changes position relative to the stars by about 13 degrees per day.
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.
Phases of the moon
The moon is still in the sky during the day, but it is often harder to see because of the brightness of the sun. The moon orbits the Earth, so its position in the sky changes throughout the day just like the sun.
No, the moon's position in the sky changes throughout the night due to its orbit around Earth. The moon rises and sets around 50 minutes later each day, so its position at a specific time will vary from night to night.

Hum ... First - the "face" never changes since the moon is tidally locked with one face always facing us. But it "shape" (new, full, quarter moon, etc.) changes every day because the moon is orbiting the Earth ... thus the relative position of the Earth, moon and sun changes every day ( although it repeats every month (which is why we coll them months).

The visible shape of the moon changes from day to day due to its different positions in orbit relative to the Earth and the Sun. This results in the different phases of the moon, such as new moon, crescent, half moon, gibbous, and full moon. The changing illumination of the moon's surface creates these distinct shapes that we observe from Earth.
There is no such position.
When the moon is visible during the day, it is called a "day moon." This occurrence happens because of the moon's position in its orbit around Earth where it can be seen from Earth in daylight hours.
No, the moon is not always visible during the day. Its visibility depends on its position in relation to the sun and Earth.
You can see the moon in the day if it's in a specific phase and position in relation to the sun. During a full moon, it's visible both day and night. When the moon is a crescent or in a different phase, it may not be visible at night due to its position relative to the Earth and the sun.
