The daylight side of the moon
What side of the moon are we seeing when the moon is full?
The same side of the moon always faces us, regardless of the phase. When the moon is full that side is fully illuminated by the sun as the moon is approximately on the opposite side of Earth relative to the sun.
What is the moon called when it is fully illuminated?
Full Moon...When The Side Of The Moon We See Is Fully Lit.
Why do you see one side of the moon during a full moon?
During a full moon, the side of the moon facing Earth is fully illuminated by the sun, making it appear as a complete circle from our perspective. The side not facing Earth is in shadow, causing us to only see the illuminated side during a full moon.
Why does the Moon cycle from New Moon to Full Moon?
The Phases of the Moon are caused by the amount of lighted Moon surface that is visible from Earth. That changes in standard cycles of 29.5 days as the Moon circles the Earth and the Earth circles the Sun. Half of the Moon is always lit by the Sun, the same as all the planets and satellites. At different times of the month, different amounts of that lighted surface are visible from Earth. If the Moon is between the Sun and Earth, we see only the dark side. If the Moon has circled to the other side of the Earth, away from the sun, we see the lit side. For instance, at the time of the Crescent Moon, the whole Moon is there, but we are seeing (or not seeing) mostly the unlit side of the Moon. At that time, because of the positions of the Earth, Sun and Moon, only the edge of the lit part is visible from Earth.

How does the moon change to half moon to full moon?
The Moon itself doesn't change at all. What we see as the "phases" of the Moon are simply the month-long days and nights on the Moon's surface. The light comes from the Sun, over THERE, while we see the daylit part of the Moon from the Earth, HERE. At the "new" phase, the daytime side of the Moon is the farside; at the new, we're seeing the lunar night. At the full moon, we see the lunar noon.
Why does the Moon's face sometimes change even though it is the same side?
We are only seeing a portion of the illuminated area when the phase is not a Full Moon phase.
What happens to the moon when its waning?
Nothing special. The Moon has days and nights like Earth does, except on the Moon it takes 29.5 days for one lunar "day" and "night".When you look at the Moon and it is "waning", what you are seeing is night falling (slowly) on the side of the Moon that we can see.
Why is the phrase dark side of the moon not right?
You can use the phrase "dark side of the Moon" - but not as a synonym for "far side of the Moon". The Moon has days and nights like the Earth does, except that lunar days are 28 days long. The far side of the Moon - the part never seen from Earth - also gets days and nights just like the side we see.
When is the moon a full moon?
When the entire visible side of the Moon is illuminated by the Sun, we call this a "full moon".
What is the moon called when it is fully illuminated?

What phase of the moon occurs when all of the moons near side is sunlit?
During the New moon, the lighted side of the Moon is the OTHER side, the side we never see.
