When the moon is between Earth and the Sun, we can't see it. The Sun's glare makes it impossible to see - unless it's perfectly aligned and then we have an eclipse.
Also when the earth is in between the moon and the sun the moon is not visible, this is called a new moon. This occurs becasue the visibility of the moon is dependant upon light from the sun being reflected (the moon produces no light of its own) thus if the earth is between the moon and the sun there is no light reaching the moon from the sun

How can the moon and the stars tell us that the earth moving?
if the moon is in orbit but we were not, then we would see different sides of the moon. because we are in orbit too, we always see the same side.
How do we see crescent moon?
By the sunlight reflected off the Moon's surface and the position of the Moon on its orbit.
Why you can not always see the moon?
In a clear sky you might not see the Moon because of the rotation of the Earth on its axis. The Moon will rise about 50 minutes later each day due to its orbit around the Earth, so it will depend on both the time of day and where it is in its monthly orbit.
Can people only see the part of the moon where the sun is shining on it?
This is essentially correct. When part of the moon is in darkness, we can't see it. Additionally, the same side of the moon faces earth all the time as our satellite is locked in its orbit to constantly face earth. We only see the portion of the moon that is both illuminated by the sun and facing the earth.
Why does the moon show in daytime?
It is because it takes the moon about one month to orbit the earth and so it is possible for the moon to be seen in the sky the same time as the sun. click on 'related links' below to see a picture of moons orbit.
What is the moon in its orbit when you cannot see it at all?
That's at the "new" moon, when the Moon is very close to the Sun.
How can the moon and the stars tell us that the earth moving?
if the moon is in orbit but we were not, then we would see different sides of the moon. because we are in orbit too, we always see the same side.
Does the Moon make a full rotation?
Yes, it rotates once with each orbit of the earth. That is why we see the same side of the moon all the time.
How do we see crescent moon?
By the sunlight reflected off the Moon's surface and the position of the Moon on its orbit.
What part of the moon do you see when it orbit earth?
whichever part you see
Why do you see the same side of the moon all the time?
It is just one of those strange coincidences that the Moon takes the same amount of time to rotate as it does to orbit us, which is why you see the same face all the time. In fact we can see more than half of it, but there is a lot of the moon we never get to see.
How can you see the moon orbit the earth?
You can't. You just see it in different places.
Why do we nly see one part of the moon from the earth?
We only see one part of the Moon form the Earth because the Moon's orbit is tidally locked to the Earth. This means that the Moon rotates on its axis in exactly the same time as it takes for it to make one orbit round the Earth. This cause the same face of the Moon to be presented to us at all times.
Does the orbit of the earth affect how you see the moon?
Nothing effects it.
What effect does the Moon's and earth's orbit have on the moon phases and the way we see them?
The effect of the moon is werewolfs come out and howl
Where is the moon in it's orbit when you cannot see it at all?
When we are facing away from the Moon we are in daylight but for the other side of the world who are facing towards the Moon it is night time and that is when we can't see the Moon at all.
Where is the moon when you can see a new moon?
In space. Comment: It's hard to disagree with that. The answer you need is that the Moon is between the Sun and Earth. The alignment isn't usually exact because the Moon's orbit is tilted relative to the Earth's orbit around the Sun. Incidentally, you can't actually see the Moon when it's New Moon.
