That varies on a week-to-week basis. Because neither the other planets nor the Moon are far from the ecliptic (the plane of the Earth's orbit around the Sun), the Moon will often appear near one or another of the planets in the sky.
Most people don't notice Mercury or Saturn; they are pretty small, and not all that bright. (Especially in our modern light-polluted skies.) But it isn't at all unusual to see the Moon next to Venus, or the Moon next to Jupiter.
Tonight, for example, on June 14, 2010, the Moon is just "below" Venus in the evening sky just at sunset, and tomorrow, June 15, 2010, the Moon will appear to be just "above" Venus in the evening sky. Venus is QUITE bright, and tonight's Moon is the waxing crescent called "Diana's Bow", so it is quite lovely.

In the old days, I think Indians tribes measured time by the daily appearance of the moon in the sky (I'll be seeing you Tonto in 3 moons) and by phases of the moon (quarter, half, three-quarters and full), plus seasonal moon (such as harvest moon) and position in the sky. Frankly, I don't know whether the Sioux used the moon and/or the sun.
What blocks part of the moon each night?
Nothing 'blocks' our view of the moon each night.Since the moon is a sphere (the shape of a ball), the sun can only light 1/2 of it, so there's always1/2 of it that's not lighted. We can't see any of that part, even though there's nothing blocking it.
What can make the moon look completely dark as seen from earth?
The moon can appear completely dark from Earth during a total lunar eclipse. This phenomenon occurs when the Earth passes directly between the sun and the moon, blocking sunlight from reaching the moon's surface. During this event, the moon can take on a reddish hue due to the Earth's atmosphere filtering and bending some sunlight into the shadow. However, when fully eclipsed, it can seem to vanish entirely from view.
What are you looking for through the telescope on astro knights island?

How does the earths rotation affect the way you view the moon?
The earths rotation effects whether it is night or day (so you'll see the moon at night).
Is Venus' the planet i see by the moon?
At different times the various planets look to be near the moon. So sometimes when you see something very bright near the moon, it is a planet. The four main planets that look bright are Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, so when you see something near the moon, it is one of those four. You can use lots of different websites which will tell you what is in the sky at the moment and what looks to be near the moon. One of those websites is in the link below.

When the moon blocks the sun from earths view what is that called?
When the moon blocks the sun from Earth's view, it is called a solar eclipse. This phenomenon occurs when the moon passes directly between the Earth and the sun, casting a shadow on Earth. Solar eclipses can be total, partial, or annular, depending on the alignment and distances of the moon, Earth, and sun.
Where is the Planet Button on Google Earth?

From the point of view of a person on Earth, the Earth's moon is in orbit around the Earth. From the point of view of a person on the sun, the Earth's moon is in orbit around the sun, and is slightly perturbed in a regular, periodic fashion by the gravitational influence of the nearby Earth.
What part of the moon do we see from earth?
From Earth, we primarily see the near side of the Moon, which is the hemisphere that faces our planet. This side is characterized by its dark basaltic plains, known as maria, along with numerous craters and highlands. The far side of the Moon, which remains hidden from view, was first observed by humans in 1959 when the Soviet spacecraft Luna 3 captured images of it.
What planet covers the moon?
The Moon circles the Earth, about 400,000 kilometers from Earth. It does not interact with any other planets. Other planets farther from the Sun have 2 or more of their own moons. Mars has 2, Jupiter has 63 known moons, Saturn has at least 62, Uranus 27, and Neptune 13 known moons (as of 2011).
What causes the apparent rising and setting of the moon?
The apparent rising and setting of the moon is caused by the rotation of the Earth. As the Earth rotates on its axis, different parts of the planet come into view of the moon, giving the illusion of the moon moving across the sky.
Why do we see the same face of moon always?
We always see the same face of the Moon because it is tidally locked to Earth. This means that the Moon's rotation period on its axis is the same as its orbital period around Earth, taking about 27.3 days to complete both. As a result, the same side, known as the near side, is always facing our planet, while the far side remains hidden from view.
What is map view?
