When we see the moon as a perfect circle, it is called a "full moon." This phase occurs when the Earth is positioned between the sun and the moon, allowing the sun's light to fully illuminate the moon's surface. During a full moon, the moon appears as a bright, round disk in the night sky.
What else can I help you with?
Which shape of the moon will you never see during daytime after sunrise and before sunset?
The dark circle (new moon)
A week after the new Moon we see half the moons face lit up it looks like a semi circle this phase is called what?
A week after the new Moon, when half of the Moon's face is illuminated, it is called the First Quarter phase. During this phase, the Moon appears as a semi-circle, with the right half lit up in the Northern Hemisphere. This occurs as the Moon moves in its orbit and more of its surface becomes visible from Earth.
Why do you see one side of the moon during a full moon?
During a full moon, the side of the moon facing Earth is fully illuminated by the sun, making it appear as a complete circle from our perspective. The side not facing Earth is in shadow, causing us to only see the illuminated side during a full moon.
Do you always see the same side of the moon from eath?
The answer is yes. We always see the same side of the moon from the Earth because the time it takes the moon to circle the Sun is the same as the time it takes to circle itself.

After a full moon as we see less and less it's called a waning moon

What is the big circle surrounding the full moon at night?
it is just the light from the moon shining on the clouds. you don't see it if it is a cloudless night.It is called the halo and caused by ice particles or water droplets in the atmosphere.
Why do you see only one side of the moon even though the moon rotates?
Both the moon and the earth rotate, roughly at the same speed , so man on earth will only see the one side of the moon. It is called "geosynchronous orbit". It isn't a perfect lock, though. Because of a movement of the moon called "libration", we can actually see about 59% of the moons surface over every four week period. But never more than that - from earth.
