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.

Where can the missing bit be found when the moon is not quite round?

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.


When the moon is not round where can the missing bit be found?

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.
