What are the similarities of a new moon and a full moon?

Answer 1

You still see the same side of moon. new moon is the one where the other side of the moon gets full light and the facing side is blacked out.

Answer 2

Both a new moon and a full moon occur as a result of the alignment of the Earth, sun, and moon. They both mark key phases in the lunar cycle, but at opposite points in terms of visibility. A new moon is not visible from Earth as it is between the Earth and the sun, while a full moon is fully illuminated by the sun and visible from Earth.

Answer 3

No,

A new moon is completely dark. As it starts to 'show again' as a crescent moon, the bulge of the crescent faces the setting sun. The term new moon can also refer to the very first crescent showing after the astronomical (completely dark) new moon phase.

A full moon is when the moon is completely round

An old moon is a crescent moon where the bulge of the crescent faces the morning sun (the other way round to the new moon).

Answer 4

A New Moon means none of the Moon's surface facing Earth is illuminated. A Full Moon means the entire surface of the Moon facing Earth is illuminated.

You can see the whole side of the Moon facing Earth in a full Moon, but in a new Moon you can't see any part of the Moon facing our Earth.

Answer 5

The "New Moon" is when the Moon is very close to the Sun in the sky, and is hidden in the Sun's glare.

"No Moon" could be true if the Moon has set, or not yet risen; but on the other side of the Earth.

Answer 6

They are not really the same. The full moon occurs when the Earth is located between the moon itself and the sun. This allows us to view the side of the moon illuminated by the sun. The new moon occurs when the moon is between the Earth and sun. The 'sunny' side of the moon is facing away from the Earth thus it appears to be black. It is still the same moon no matter which side of us it is on. Its location in respect to us and the sun changes thus altering which portions of it we see at any given time.

Answer 7

At the new moon, the Moon is up in the daytime very near the Sun; because the Sun is so bright, we cannot see the new Moon, because the illuminated side of the Moon is facing away from the Earth.

At the Full Moon, the Moon is up all night, and is easily visible, because the illuminated side of the Moon is facing the Earth.

Answer 8

The Full Moon is the bright moon and is on the opposite side of Earth from the Sun (it rises about the time the Sun sets). The New Moon, also - perhaps more accurately - called the Dark Moon, is the Moon on the same side of Earth as the Sun, so that the sun shines on the half turned away from us (moonshine is reflected sunshine). The term "New Moon" can also mean the first visible crescent after the Dark Moon.

We can only have a solar exclipse during a New Moon and only have a lunar eclipse during a Full Moon.

Answer 9

A new moon is when you cannot see it because the entire face is in shadow. A full moon means you can see the whole surface that faces us at once.

Answer 10

A full moon means that the entire moon is visible, while a new moon is when the moon is seemingly gone, they are complete opposites...
