Why is the moon not seen from the earth?

The moon is seen from the Earth...


Explain what causes us to see the different phases of the moon Include in your explanation a reference to the motion of the moon involved the relationship of the earth's and moon's plane of orbit a?

What you can see of the moon is the light of the sun on the moon. The part that is dark is where the sun's light is not shining on the moon. The part where the light of the sun is on the moon is experiencing "moon day" and where it is not shining is the "moon night." When the moon is in part of its orbit that is between the earth and the sun, we mostly see the part of the moon which is dark. Since the moon is on the sun's side of the earth, we see it during the day. So a New Moon can always be seen during the day. Conversely, when the moon is in the part of its orbit in which the earth is between the moon and the sun, we mostly see the part of the moon which is in sunshine. We mostly see the moon at night, and a Full Moon can always be seen during the night. It is important to note that the dark part of the moon is not the earth's shadow on the moon. The earth's shadow falls on the moon occurs during a lunar eclipse, which is always during a full moon because the earth is between the sun and the moon and always seen at night.

Why is only one part of the moon is seen at different times of the moon?

The rotation of the moon is at the same rate as its trip around the planet, so the same side always faces earth. This was caused by the influence of gravity over the billions of years since they formed.


Does earth also reflect light on moon?

As seen from the moon, the Earth is a brighter source of light than the moon is as seen from the Earth. This also depends upon the phase of the Earth, just as the brightness of the moon varies by phase. A full moon and a full Earth are in the brightest phase.

Why can the Moon be seen from Earth because of sunlight?

It is not because of sunlight that the Moon can be seen from Earth. It has everything to do with the location of the Earth and Moon, and the properties of reflected light.
