Any moon apart from the new moon can be seen in the night sky, although the only moon phase that is above the horizon the entire night is the full moon. The gibbous phases either rise just before sunset or set after sunrise, the quarter phases either rise or set at midnight and the crescent phases either rise shortly before sunrise or set shortly before sunset.
what determines the portion of the moon that you see at night
You see the moon at night when it reflects sunlight from the sun. The moon's appearance changes throughout the month as it orbits Earth, leading to different phases such as full moon, half moon, and crescent moon.
You can see the moon at night because it reflects light from the sun. Even though the sun has set and it is dark on Earth, the moon's surface still reflects enough sunlight to be visible in the night sky.
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.
you can see the moon because the sun is not hitting the earth war the moon is hitting.
You don't. If you know where to look, you can often see the moon in the daytime, and it's not always up at night either.
what determines the portion of the moon that you see at night
Anywhere that it is night. inless if it is a new moon then you can not see the moon.
To see in the Night :) See "do we really need the moon?"
The moon is not always visible at night. If the moon is in conjunction with the sun, it will be a "new moon" and will be very hard to see. Waning crescent moons cannot be seen at night, only in the morning.
The Moon reflects the Suns' light, ergo: making you able to see the Moon.

This is when you can only see half a moon out at night.
The entire night? Only one night, during the full moon, when the Moon rises at sunset and sets at sunrise. However, the Moon is generally visible in the daytime as well, except for a day either side of the new moon.
Because night is dark and the moon is brightly and shiny
on a moon less night.
The moon and stars are both out at night.
