As the Moon goes around Earth, it may be in different directions, in relation to the Sun. Sometimes it may be almost in the same direction, at other times, it may be in the opposite direction in the sky.
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.
Humans see the same side of the moon because it rotates on its axis at the same rate it orbits the Earth, a phenomenon known as synchronous rotation. This means that one side of the moon is always facing us, making it appear as though it does not rotate.
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.
Some people expect to see the Sun during the day, and the Moon in the darkness of the night. But, depending on the position the Moon has reached in its orbit round the World, the Moon may appear during the day. Once the Sun is shining brightly, the Moon is less, if not impossible to see, because of the brightness of the daylight. Early dawn or twilight, when the sky is not too bright is the best time to see that the Moon, in all its phases, can appear during the day.
That person in London would see a new moon.
You can see the same amount of the moon during the first and last quarter, as well as during each half.
The moon rotates on it's axis during the same time it takes the moon to go around the earth.
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.
The totally and completely full moon is directly opposite the sun, so they can't both be 'up' at the same time.
It is just one of those strange coincidences that the Moon takes the same amount of time to rotate as it does to orbit us, which is why you see the same face all the time. In fact we can see more than half of it, but there is a lot of the moon we never get to see.
during an eclipse
You can see the moon during the day, depending on what phase it's in.
depends on where they are.
no
No, during a full moon, we see the entire lighted side of the moon, whereas during a new moon, the lighted side of the moon is facing away from Earth so we see no lighted side at all.
yes you can see the moon in Australia when the sun and moon can be seen in America !!!! its crazzy !
No, the earth is round, so not everyone can see the moon at the same time. Only when your side of the world is pointed toward the moon can you see it.
