Does the gibbous moon look the same from all positions on Earth?
Yes. Everyone on earth for whom the moon is visible sees the same phase at the same time.
Why do lunar eclipses happen at night?
When you see a lunar eclipse, it's always at night on your part of the earth. -- A lunar eclipse can only occur at the exact time of the Full Moon. -- The Full Moon is visible only in the night sky. So obviously, if you are in a place where you can see the Full Moon, then you are in a place where you can see a lunar eclipse if one is in progress, and it is night-time where you are.
Why do lunar eclipses always occur at night?
A lunar eclipse can only occur at the time of Full Moon, and that's the only occasion when the sun and the moon can't be up at the same time. So at the moment when a lunar eclipse is in progress, anybody who can see it is on the earth's night side. Of course, at the same moment, there's a whole other side of earth where the sun is up and it's daytime. But nobody there can see the moon.
What face of the moon shows when the moon and sun appear at the same time?
When the moon and sun appear at the same time in the sky, typically during the day, the side of the moon that is illuminated and visible from Earth is the side that faces away from the sun. This phase is known as the new moon phase, where the moon is positioned between the Earth and the sun, making it difficult to see against the brightness of the sun. Thus, the illuminated face of the moon is not visible from Earth, and it appears dark.
What time of the day do you expect the new moon to rise?
The new moon is not visible in the sky as it rises and sets with the sun during the day. It's the moon phase when the moon is directly between the Earth and the sun, so it rises and sets with the sun and is not observable.
Can you see the moon and the sun at the same time?
It is not possible to see the moon and the sun at the same time since they are located on opposite sides of the sky. The moon is visible mainly at night when the sun has set, and the sun is visible during the day when the moon is not usually visible.
Is the moon always in the night sky in Great Britain If it is then is it visible in the southern hemisphere If it is not visible every night in Great Britain then why not Intrigues you?
The Moon isn't always in the night sky in Great Britain.That's not just because it's often cloudy!The reason is simply that it spends half its time in the daylight sky.That's because it orbits the Earth once about every 27 days, roughly.Exactly when the Moon is visible at night depends, amongst other things, on the observer's latitude.However, generally speaking if it is visible in the northern hemisphere it's visible at most places in the Southern hemisphere at the same local time of night.I suppose the question could be about whether the Moon is visible at some time during every night. In that case, of course, you get a different answer.The Moon is often visible in the daylight sky, especially when it is not very close to the Sun. Around the time of the new Moon the Moon is closest to the Sun. So not only is the brightness of the Sun obscuring our view of the Moon, but this is also the time when little or no reflected light reaches us from the Moon.
Is there such thing as a night with no moon?
The moon will always be there, but there will be a time when the sun's rays won't shine on it, causing it not to be visible which is known as a new moon.
What times was the moon visible on September 7 2009?

What is phases of moon?
The waxing phase of the moon is the time when more of the moon is shown each night until it is a full moon. It then goes into its waning phase where less of it shows until it is a new moon where it is not visible in the night sky.
Do you see the moon at the same time every night?
no
Why can you see the moon at night?
You can see the moon at night because it reflects light from the sun. Even though the sun has set and it is dark on Earth, the moon's surface still reflects enough sunlight to be visible in the night sky.
When the Sun and Moon are out at the same time is there no Sun and Moon out on the other side of the earth?
they are always out at the same time so yes but it is scince we are tilted they can also see it. _________________________________ Except at the full Moon, there is always a period at night when the Moon is not visible; either it has already set, or has not yet risen. At the new phase of the Moon, the Sun and Moon are pretty close in the sky, and the Moon isn't visible at all during the night.
Why sun and moon don't appear at the same time?
They do. The moon just isn't lit up in the day time but it is still visible.
Does the gibbous moon look the same from all positions on Earth?
Yes. Everyone on earth for whom the moon is visible sees the same phase at the same time.
Why would you choose this topic does the moon rise every night at the same time and in the same location in the sky?
No. Moonrise can occur day or night. The moon is not related to the sun at all. Since our way of measuring time is relative to the sun, the moon does not rise at the same time every time.
When no moon is visible what is that called?
When no moon is visible in the night sky, it is referred to as a "new moon." This phase occurs when the moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun, making the illuminated side of the moon face away from us. As a result, the moon is essentially invisible to observers on Earth during this time.
