It's still in the same place it's always been. The earth simply casts a shadow over the surface of the moon as it rotates around the Earth.

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.


What is the answer to the moon is round game?

There are two versions that I've ever played. The first is that just before they say "The moon is round, the moon is round..." they do a little cough. And if you don't do the little cough, you haven't got it. The other is that they use their left hand while doing it. It's a bit confusing, because it looks like they are using their right hand if you don't think about it, but...


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

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.


Why is the moon round?

The moon is round because of gravity. Gravity pulls every bit of the moon together towards every other bit of the moon, crushing it all together into a big ball. You must also always take into accoutnt he fact that the moon revolves aroudn the earth, the same way every other round planet revolves around the sun. However it is questionable whether gravity is truelly the reasont he moon is round. Had the moon been placed, one solid object, then perhaps it has no need to be compacted.

What causes the moon to change?

the different shapes are called phases and they change as the moon moves round the earth and therefore changes the distance from the sun so the dark part is the shadow of the moon and the part you can see is the part in the sunlight.Additional answerThe moon doesn't actually change shape. You may be asking why it sometimes looks round, at other times, crescent shaped. It's not changed shape, it's that you can only see part of it, and different parts at different times. When the position of the moon, earth and sun are such that they are in that order, the whole side of the moon that's towards the earth is lit by the sun and we see it as a round shape. But usually the earth is not exactly in between the moon and the sun, but a bit offset. We then see part of the moon that's not lit as well as part that is. The part that is varies in its apparent shape depending on just how much of it we can see. If most of what we can see is unlit, the lit bit looks like a slim crescent.Also, the phases do not change as the moon moves round the earth but how its relationship with the sun and earth changes
