That depends on what phase the moon is in. Waxing, it would be the left. Waning, it would be the right. Full would be all of it. New would be none of it. All of this, of course, depends on where you are vs where the sun and moon are. Sometimes, the bottom of the moon may appear to be lit.

Was there a full moon when man landed on the moon?

When there is a full Moon, the Moon is on the opposite side of the Earth to the Sun, and the Sun's rays reflect off the moon and back to Earth. So we have SUN >>> EARTH >>> MOON. At this time, the side of the Moon facing the Earth is in full sunlight, and the Sun is very high in the sky as seen from the Apollo landing sites. This means that shadows on the Moon are very short at this time, which would have made it more difficult for astronauts to see detail on the surface, especially during the landing. So in fact the landing took place whilst it was "morning" on the Moon, so that the Sun was lower in the sky and shadows would make the surface detail stand out more.


WAs the first man to walk on the moon a fake?

When you see the moon is full moon?

You can see the moon when it is not full. The sun lights up part of the moon, but if you look carefully when the moon is not full, you can see the darker parts. This is easier when only a small part of the moon appears to be lit, as a brighter moon glares out the darker part making it harder to see.


What causes the phases of the moon that is visible to earth?

The moon's phases are caused by the earth blocking the light from sun and casting a shadow on the moon. we are between the moon and the sun entirely at a new a new moon and we are not blocking any sun light at full moon.


Which shape of the moon will you never see during sunset?

You will never see a new moon during sunset because, at this phase, the moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun. This alignment means the illuminated side of the moon is facing away from Earth, making it essentially invisible in the night sky. Hence, the new moon is not visible at sunset or at any time during the night.

People better believe as the flag is on the moon, and the footsteps of all the 12 astronauts are very clearly visible.
