Hello, friend! When we look up at the moon from Earth, we can usually see about 59% of it due to something magical called "synchronous rotation," where the moon rotates on its axis the same rate it orbits the Earth. Isn't that just a happy little scientific fact? So next time you gaze up at that big beautiful moon, know that you're seeing most of its lovely face looking back down at you.
What else can I help you with?
If you can see a full moon at your position on earth what type of moon will you see if you go exactly the opposite side of the world on the same day?
If you can see a full moon at your position on Earth, then someone on the exact opposite side of the world will see a new moon. This is because the full moon is when the side of the moon facing Earth is fully illuminated by the sun, so the side facing away from Earth is in shadow.
Why the half moon is heavier than full moon?
The moon is the moon. How much of the illuminated portion we can see from Earth is completely irrelevant to its mass.
How do we see the moon?
We see the moon because it reflects sunlight. The moon itself does not produce light; instead, it captures sunlight and reflects it toward Earth. The phases of the moon, such as the full moon or crescent moon, occur due to its position relative to the Earth and the Sun, affecting how much of its illuminated surface we can see.
Why are there new phases of the moon each night?
The phases of the moon are determined by how much of the moon we can see from earth. The amount of the moon we see is determined by how much of the suns light is reflected from it back to us. As the moon moves round the earth and the earth moves round the sun the amount of light that gets bounced back from moon changes because of its different possitions.
What you see of the moon depends on how much of the sunlit side of the moon faces the earth?
Yes, exactly. The part of the Moon we see bright is the part that is exposed to direct sunlight.
The phases of the moon depend on how much of the lighted side of the moon can be seen from earth?
From earth we see the same side of the moon but depending on the position of the moon, earth, sun we see different portions of the moon- these are known as the phases of the moon.
If you can see a full moon at your position on earth what type of moon will you see if you go exactly the opposite side of the world on the same day?
If you can see a full moon at your position on Earth, then someone on the exact opposite side of the world will see a new moon. This is because the full moon is when the side of the moon facing Earth is fully illuminated by the sun, so the side facing away from Earth is in shadow.
How much of the moon do you see if it is a new moon?
All of it. We can see the dark part of the Moon too, due to light reflected off Earth.
How can you fined out how much you weight on the moon?
you see how much you weigh on earth then divide it by 6.
What does the phases of the moon you see depends on?
The phases of the moon are dependant on the relative positions of the sun, moon and earth. It's the angle between the view-lines to the sun and the moon, with you at the vertex of the angle. The phase of the moon you see depends on how much of the sunlit side of the moon faces earth.
How do astronauts see the earth from the moon?
Astronauts see the Earth from the Moon as a bright, colorful sphere in the distance. The Earth appears much larger than the Moon does from Earth and cannot be seen as a flat disc. The view offers a unique perspective of our planet hanging in the vastness of space.
What part of the moon would you see depends on how much of the sunlit side of the moon faces earth?

Can we see titan Saturn's moon from earth?
Yes. You can see the 8 major ones with a moderate telescope.

How much of the moon is illuminated by the sun at each position as the Moon's orbits earth?
Half (50 percent) of the moon is illuminated by the sun at all times, just as half of earth is always illuminated.The thing that changes is: How much of the moon's illuminated half can we see from earth ?
