Which phase of the lunar cycle is not visible?

Answer 1

The phases that are visible in the day are the crescent moons because they only come up at noon and they are always right by the sun!

Answer

The crescent moons are visible in the day if you look at the sun the crescent moon should be by it somewhere. This is because the new moon turned into the crescent and it is really close to the sun so you might not be able to see it!

the first quarter moon to the third quarter moon are visible in the daylight except sometimes for the full moon which rises just at Sunset. The first quarter moon rises at noon and each day rises about an hour late.

Answer 2

The Moon takes the same amount of time to rotate once on its axis as it takes to orbit Earth once (about 28 hours). So the same side of the Moon is always facing Earth.

The Moon rotates in such a way that it always shows us the same side. This is due to tidal forces; the Earth's rotation is getting slower and slower, and one day, in the far future, the Earth will always show the Moon the same side as well.

Answer 3

No.

The same side of the moon always faces the earth. (Not the sun.)
You can look at the moon to see this.
Every night (and even if you can see the moon in the day) you will always see the same side facing you.

You can tell which side of the moon is facing the sun because that side will be lit up with sun light. Over the course of one month you can watch the part of the moon that is lit up change. We call this the phases of the moon.

When it is a Full Moon, the part of the moon that you are looking at is facing the sun and lit up with sun light. When it is a New Moon (fully dark), the part of the moon that you are looking at is not facing the sun and therefore dark.

Answer 4

The moon's reflection of the sun is what we see...therefore:

The New Moon Phase is not visible during the day because the side of the moon that is reflecting the sun's light is also facing away from us. We will only see the moon in this phase if we use special filters to view the moons passage between Earth and the Sun, and, ONLY if there is a solar eclipse.

Edit : There's more to the question than that. I think I know the answer, but I got one of these "phases of the Moon" questions wrong recently so I will let someone else have ago at answering it first.

OK time's up, now I will answer. It's the full moon, as well as the new moon.

(Another contributor, active in this category, agrees completely.)

Answer 5

No, because the speed the moon rotates is the same as it revolves around the Earth. * or in other words - the moon rotates exactly once every 28 days - it takes the exact same amount of time for the moon to rotate once as it does for the moon to rotate around the earth - so we are always looking at the same side of the moon - whether it be light or dark.

Answer 6

No. The part of the moon that you can't see from earth is always the same part.

But regarding light and dark, every point on the moon is in sunlight for half the

time and in dark for the other half of the time, just as on the earth.

Answer 7

The moon orbits the earth. As it swings around on its month (moonth) long journey, we see the sun drift across its face.

When the moon is opposite the earth (from the sun), what we see is the full moon in its own broad daylight. When the moon is half full, the terminator line (lunar sunrise or sunset) divides the day and night sides of the sphere. When the moon is between the earth and sun, all we can see is the night side, or "dark" side of the moon. We call this the "new" moon.

Answer 8

Yes. The moon rotates around its own axis at the same rate as it orbits the Earth, so it's always turning the same side towards the earth. The back side of the moon can't be seen from the earth.

Answer 9

yes it always comes out just sometimes we can't see it because the suns rays do not light it up.

=====================

First of all, the moon doesn't 'come out'. It rises, crosses the sky, and sets on the

other side, just like the sun does.

Every time the moon rises, it rises about 50 minutes later than it did the last time,

and it takes almost 121/2 hours to cross the sky before it sets. When you think

about that, if possible, you realize that the moon is in the sky for part of nearly

every day, and also for part of nearly every night. There are a few days of every

month when you might have trouble seeing it, because it's too skinny or too close

to the sun. But if you know what time and where to look, you can spot it at some

time of practically every day and every night.

Answer 10

The Earth will have the dark side hide under it's shadow like the way we see Moon from Earth but probably in reverse. Our full Moon is the time for new Earth and the Full Earth is the new Moon. The key is that, we saw the moon from sunlight reflect on the surface. For us to see full Moon, on the moon we see the back side of the earth so the earth is dark and that is the New Earth.
