When the moon is not quite full, the missing bit can be found in the shadowed portion of the moon, which is illuminated by sunlight. This creates the crescent or gibbous shapes we see during different phases. The unlit part is often a darker area, contrasting with the bright section, and is sometimes faintly visible due to Earth's reflected light.
The missing bit is found during a lunar phase called the crescent moon, where the illuminated portion of the moon is less than half. The missing portion is not visible to us on Earth, as it is facing away from the sun.
The missing part of the moon during its various phases is not "found" elsewhere; rather, it is due to the changing positions of the sun, Earth, and moon relative to each other. The moon appears to change shape as different portions of its illuminated side are visible from Earth.
I'm not quite sure if this is what you mean, but the moon revolves around the earth in an elliptical pattern, not a circle, and it also rotates as it does this. So yes the moon can change its position.
The youngest rocks on the moon have been found near the Apollo 11 landing site in the Ocean of Storms region. These rocks are estimated to be around 1.2 billion years old, much younger compared to the overall age of the moon.
Yes, the moon does have an axis of rotation, but it is not tilted like the Earth's axis. The Moon's axis is nearly perpendicular to the plane of its orbit around Earth. This means that the Moon's poles do not experience the same seasonal variations as Earth's poles.

Missing the Moon was created in 1991-08.
The moon can be found in space. Moons will orbit around planets that have moons. Earth has one moon that gives four different phases each month.
not quite. The moon circles the Earth, which circles the sun. So the moon's orbit around the sun isn't a smooth track, but consist of a wave like pattern.
The moon's orbit is tilted relative to Earth's orbit around the sun. As a result during most full moon and new moon phases the sun, moon, and Earth are not quite perfectly aligned.
No. The moon is quite barren.
No. The Moon orbits the Earth. If the Sun DID get between the Earth and the Moon, then we would not be around to report it.
Moon rocks were found on the Moon.
The earth is never missing the moon. It just looks like it is not there. It is probably just hiding behind some clouds or something.
Moon appears to be missing Darwin. New Moon (Twiglet II) is here in November
