how do you mean? when Galileo was trying to build his telescope he realized that he needed a mirror to reflect the image of the moon so it wouldn't be upside-down when he looked through the eyepiece. If you mean in the sky, the relationship between the earth, sun, and the moon determines what part of the moon is lit. light from the sun is refracted (i may not be using the correct term there, but it's bent) and strikes the moon causing it to appear illuminated, sometimes is looks like a smiley and sometimes like the standard standing banana when it's in its crescent phase
What else can I help you with?
Is the moon upside down when it sets?
No, the moon is not upside down when it sets. The perception of upside down depends on your location on Earth and the orientation of your perspective.
Why are maps of the moon upside down?

Why is it that the stars are upside down on the navy badges?
The upside-down stars on a navy badge represent the North Star. Navigators in the northern hemisphere use the North Star to find their bearings, so the stars on the badge are shown upside down to align with how they would appear when looking at them for navigation.
Why do you see the image upside down on a periscope?
If the angles of the mirrors that you used on periscope are not parallel to each other you would see the image upside down.
What lens makes things appear upside down?
A concave lens can make things appear upside down when placed in front of the eye because it diverges light rays. This causes light from the top of an object to converge towards the bottom of the retina and vice versa, resulting in an inverted image.
Is the moon upside down when it sets?
No, the moon is not upside down when it sets. The perception of upside down depends on your location on Earth and the orientation of your perspective.

What does the moon look like in Australia when its a full moon in Texas?

Why do images formed by concave mirrors appear upside down?
Images formed by concave mirrors appear upside down because the light rays coming from an object converge at a single point (the focal point) after being reflected. This causes the image to appear flipped, with the top and bottom of the object reversed.

Why does the moon sometimes look like an upside down Southern Hemisphere moon even when viewed from Miami Florida at times?
Because Miami is in the northern hemisphere.
Which lens causes things to be upside down?
A concave lens causes objects to appear upside down when they are placed within the focal point of the lens. This is due to the way the light rays are refracted by the lens, resulting in an inverted image.
