You can see the Moon so clearly at night because, although it is very small compared to other celestial objects, it is also very close, only about a quarter of a million miles from the Earth. On a cosmic scale, this is a very short distance. In addition, the lunar regolith, or dusty surface, reflects light very well.
What else can I help you with?
Why people cannot see the moon phase?
Any person on earth can see the phase of the moon by looking for the moon in the night sky. The only reason you would not be able to determine the phase of the moon by observational means would be if the night sky was obscured by clouds.

They happen in space, on the Moon - but since it only happens at the full moon, you will only be able to see one during the night.
What is the moon phase when you can see the entire moon on the sky at night?

'When a full moon occurs if there were people on the moon would they see a 'full' Earth'?
Not necessarily. Think about it... if you can see a full moon in the middle of the night, then someone on the moon would be able to see your part of the earth.... which would be in darkness.
