Well, isn't that just a lovely question, my friend? When we look up at the moon from here on Earth, we can actually see about 59% of its surface. That's quite a sight to behold, isn't it? Just imagine all the peaceful landscapes you could paint on that stunning celestial canvas.
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.
The moon is the moon. How much of the illuminated portion we can see from Earth is completely irrelevant to its mass.
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.
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.
Yes, exactly. The part of the Moon we see bright is the part that is exposed to direct sunlight.
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.
All of it. We can see the dark part of the Moon too, due to light reflected off Earth.
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.
you see how much you weigh on earth then divide it by 6.
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.
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.

The moon is the moon. How much of the illuminated portion we can see from Earth is completely irrelevant to its mass.
Yes. You can see the 8 major ones with a moderate telescope.
The phase of the moon you see depends on how much of the sunlit side of the moon faces 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 ?
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.
