eaither a waxing or waining cresent...if the right side of the moon is lit it is waxing if the left side is lit it is waining
When the moon is fully visible to observers on Earth, it is said to be at its full moon phase. This occurs when the sun, Earth, and moon are aligned in a straight line, with the Earth in between the sun and moon. The full moon appears as a complete circle and is the brightest phase of the moon.
The moon has one face that is constantly facing the Earth, a phenomenon known as synchronous rotation. This means that only one side of the moon is visible to us from Earth.
When the sky is clear but still only a small part of the moon is visible, the cause may be any one of the following: -- The moon is in its waning crescent phase, during the last 6 or 7 days before New Moon. -- The moon is in its waxing crescent phase, during the first 6 or 7 days after New Moon. -- An umbral lunar eclipse is in progress.
yes the moon is only about one-fourth the size of earth
No, the visibility of the moon depends on its phase and its position in the sky. The moon is not always visible because it goes through different phases, such as new moon when it is not visible at all and full moon when it is fully illuminated and visible all night.
cause we are asleep
One side of the moon (the Earth facing side) becomes fully visible at Full Moon.

no because the moon is not a planet. Mars.

They discovered that the moon has one-sixth of the gravity than on Earth.the moon is one-fourth size of the Earth.
yes the moon is only about one-fourth the size of earth
More than 1/4 of the moon is visible from roughly 7.4 days after the New Moon until roughly 7.4 days before the next New Moon ... about 14.8 days all together. That period of time begins at First Quarter phase, extends through the waxing gibbous, Full Moon, and waning gibbous phases, and ends at Third Quarter.
