It depends on what phase the moon is in. You can see anything from nothing, a sliver, to a full circle.

Could you see earth if you were standing on the dark side of the moon?

If you look down, you will see the surface of the moon. If you look up, you will be able to see other celestial bodies in the sky, such as Earth, stars, other planets, etc., as long as they are not currently below the horizon of the moon. However, since the moon keeps the same face toward the Earth, if you are not on the side facing Earth, you will not see the Earth at all.


Why are you able to see the moon shining on earth?

The moon shines on Earth because it reflects sunlight. The moon does not produce its own light, so we see it shining because it reflects the sunlight hitting its surface back towards us on Earth. This reflection creates the glowing effect we see from Earth.


Why does the moon look different to us on the earth?

The moon is constantly orbiting the Earth and the moon gets it's light from the sun, observers (us) on Earth see sunlight hitting the moon at different angles - thus creating the lunar phases.


Why do the moon's phases look like they do?

The moon's phases look the way they do because it takes one monthe for the moon to rotate around the Earth. You can only see certain parts of the moon because the light of the sun shines only on the part of the moon not covered by the Earth.


What phase is the moon in when you can't see it?

All phases of the moon can be viewed from the earth. The moon is easier to see on a clear night, though the moon can also be seen during the day, depending on its orbit, and how bright the sunlight is.

What earth phase do you see when you see a waxing gibbous phase on the moon?

It would be the opposite. If we went to the moon when it was full, we would look back at an earth in shadow (a `new earth`) If we went to the moon when it was new, then it would be between us and the sun, so we would look back at a full earth. For a waxing gibbous from earth, the earth would be a waning crescent from the moon.


Why do full moons occur?

When you go to moon why you have to see up to saw earth?

The same reason you have to look up to see the moon when you're standing on earth. From earth, the moon appears to move across the sky, but on the moon, the earth stays in the same spot at all times. This is because the near side of the moon is always pointing to earth while the earth rotates, which gives the moon the appearance of movement across the sky.


What would the moon look like in NJ if you see a half moon at the north pole?

In that case, you would also see a half moon if you could see the moon at all. The moon is in the same phase for everywhere on Earth, so if you can see it at all, you're seeing it in the same phase that anyone else on Earth is seeing.
