The whole Moon is there all the time. The phases of "quarter," "crescent" and so forth describe the part of the Moon on which sunlight is falling. When the Moon is on the opposite side of the Earth as the Sun (in other words, in a line of Sun - Earth - Moon), the sunlit side is the same as the side an observer on Earth sees, so the Moon is "full." When the Moon and Sun are on the same side (Sun - Moon - Earth), the lighted side is the side facing away from Earth, and the Moon is dark, or "New." In first and third "quarters," the Sun and Moon form a right angle (a "corner") with the Earth, as when somebody stands with a single light source near his ear and his face is half in the light.
The phase of the moon can in principle tell you where the Sun is, and that in turn can tell you what time it is.
However, most people don't do that, and instead just use the moon's phases to count the days. The moon completes a full cycle of phases in just about a month.
When the earth spins on its axis, and the part that you live on has its back
turned to the sun, you can almost always can see the moon, right? The sun's
light is reflected off the moon to the Earth. While the moon orbits, sometimes
the moon is to the west of the Earth and sometimes to the east. This
creates the different ways of the moon's shape.
You can use the moon to tell time because there is one month between each full moon.
Hope I helped!
Roughly half of the moon is lit by the sun at all times. The moon revolves around the earth so we only see the part of the moon that actually faces the sun, which is how the moon has phases.
gbfrveufbrg A good summary of the story "Moon Phases", (if I am talking about the same book as you are) is that there are many different phases of the moon. There is a crescent moon, full moon, half moon, and much more! (name all if necessary). The moon changes over time. The moon is always there in the day time, however, in the night it shines, so it's clearer to see, and more visible. :)
The amount of time that elapses between each of the four principal phases of the moon is 29.5 days. The phases are roughly equal to each other.
For moon phases its usually about seven days, but it depends on the phase. Hope i helped!
No. The phases are caused by the angle between the Sun and the Moon, from our point of view. At some point of time, we see the illuminated part of the moon, at another point of time, the dark side.No. The phases are caused by the angle between the Sun and the Moon, from our point of view.

you use the moons movement and phases to tell time because of the seasons, rotation, and revolution
yes the moon phases are predictable because you can tell when a moon phase will appear by knowing what time of month it is.
Moon phases are predictable because the Moon orbits the Earth and the Sun reflects off the Moon.
No, each one of the moon's phases appears on a different night.
The phases of the moon can tell you what time of the week it is, see the whole cycle is one month, and there are two fool moons one in the beginning and one from the end. each half cycle has a name, waxing and waning, each have a different time period.

It takes one month for the Moon to go through all of its phases one time.
the moon takes 28 days to complete all of it's phases and there are 8 phases so each phase lasts for 3.5 days
