What else can I help you with?
How can you see the moon during the day despite the bright blue colour of the shining sky?
The moon is visible during the day because of its position in the sky relative to the sun, not because of its own light. The moon's surface reflects sunlight, making it visible even when the sky is bright blue. This phenomenon is most commonly seen in the morning or late afternoon when the sky is not as bright.
Does the moon have daytime and nighttime?
Yes, it can be argued that Moon has a day time and night time. Day time is when the moon is shining bright above the sky, night time is when the moon is dark. Hence the term "Dark Side of the Moon".
What percentage of the moon's bright side can you see durning a new moon?

How can we see the moon shine bright?
It reflects light from the sun.
Why can't we see moon in daylight?
During the day, the light from the sun is so bright that it overpowers the reflected light from the moon, making it difficult for our eyes to see the moon. Additionally, the moon is often in a different part of the sky during the day, further reducing visibility.
Why can you see the moon from earth?
Because the light from the sun is reflected off of earth, shining on to the moon so it is then visible to us earthlings.
Why is the Moon's sky black though the sun is shining brightly?
There is no atmosphere to speak of, on the Moon. The reason we see the sky bright is because of sunlight reflected from our atmosphere.
Why is it safer to look at the moon and not the sun?
Looking directly at the sun can harm your eyes. The moon is not bright enough to do so. It has no light of its own, it can only be seen because of the sun shining on it making it bright enough to see.
Why does the moon have a dark side when viewed from earth?
Because the bright and dark sides are caused by what direction the sun is shining on the moon. We see the sun from a different angle and so see it as have light and dark sides.
Why does the moonlook as if it is shining?
It reflects the sun. Depending how far the sun is also determines the look of a half moon, or the full moon, so forth. New moon is where we don't see it and why we can't see it is because it's in front of the sun. Therfore the sun is too bright that we can't see the moon.
Could you see the earths light if you were on the moon?
In the same way we see brightness from the Moon as a result of the Sun shining on it, you would see brightness on the Earth from the Moon when the Sun is shining on it. You would not be able to see normal lights, like street lights, from the Moon.
What do you see at the start and end of a total eclipse?
If you're talking about a solar eclipse, possibly Baily's Beads, a string of bright points on one side of the Moon produced by sunlight shining through valleys on the edge of the Moon.
Is there light on the moon?
Yes, there is light on the moon. The moon reflects sunlight, which is why we can see it shining in the night sky.
How much of the moon bright side can you see during a new moon?
During the new moon you can't see no bright side because the sun is facing away from the moon.
Why do you have full moons?
The sun is always shining at the moon. However, sometimes we can only see part of the moon that the sun is shining on. When the sun is behind us and the moon in front of us, we can see all of the part of the moon that the sun is shining on. If the sun is behind us and the moon is to the left or right of us, we can see part of the moon that the sun is shining on and part that it isn't shining on. However, because that part of the moon is so dark, we cant really see it all, so we see a half moon. As the moon orbits the Earth wee see more or less part of it lit up. The moon then seems to disappear altogether, which is because we can't see any part of the moon being lit up. The moon is getting fuller at present, so each night we see a bit more of it lit up. After it is full we will begin to see less of it being lit up.
How does the moon shines?
The moon does not shine of itself. What we see is when the sun is shining on the moon and it is illuminated. So the moon is reflecting light towards us. If you were on the moon, and the sun was shining on the part of earth that was facing you, the earth would appear to be shining. The other planets that we see that appear to shine, are also just being lit up by the sun.
Why can we see the moon so well?
Because of the sun's light shining on it
