Only the half of the moon that is illuminated by sunlight will be visible; the other half is dark. Because the relative positions of the Earth, moon, and sun are always changing, the viewer on Earth will see varying amounts of the illuminated half of the moon.
Phases of the moon
There are a total of 53 moons that orbit the planet Saturn. Saturn's moons were first discovered by Christian Huygens in 1655.
The changes in the moon's appearance are called lunar phases. They occur because of the moon's position relative to the sun and Earth, resulting in different amounts of the moon's illuminated surface visible from Earth.
There is typically one moon visible in the night sky, also known as Earth's moon. However, there can be rare occasions where two moons are visible due to phenomena like a second moon or a passing satellite.
The 27 known moons of Uranus are visible from earth only with extreme magnification.

Saturn is the planet that has visible rings and lots of moons. There are a few other planets.

No they are not
None do. All that changes is the portion of the illuminated half of the moon that's visible from where we are. But aside from some irregular tidal effects, the physical shape of the moon is constant.

Venus does not have any moons. It is one of the few planets in our solar system that does not have any natural satellites.

crators, maria, elevation. those are some things you can see that are visible on the moon.
moons and stars.. star studded sky..:)
cuz The moon's apparent "shape" changes because as it orbits the Earth, the light from the sun hits it at different angles causing observers on Earth to see "different shaped moons". The moon really is always a sphere.
