you can see the moon in the early morning because some of the suns light is still shining on the moon. In the afternoon you can see the moon because the su is just starting to shed ligt onto the moon well the reason you can see the sun while the moon is out is because Chuck Norris(sun master) and master chief (gladiator of all outer space) are clearly in some sort of conflict, usually over a game of good ol css and the interw3bz were prolly laggin up in dat beezy. you can see the moon when the sun is out because some of the sun is still making it shine nobody has answered this quiestion but me by michela

Why can you see half of the moon sometimes and be able to see the whole moon other times?

You see just that part of the moon that the sun is shinning on.


If the new moon was visible where would you look to see the new moon when it rises?

At new moon, the Moon is right next to the Sun - that is, you see it in the same direction, more or less. At new moon, the Moon rises together with the Sun.


Why does the moon's appearance changing during the lunar cycle?

Because the moon is in orbit around the earth and the sun is shining on a certain point of the moon. We can see the changes from our perspective. This is similar to a shadow. Sometimes we can only see a sliver of the moon because the sun is almost directly facing the moon and we can't see that side.


Does the sun and moon spin around the earth?

No, the Earth and the Moon revolve together around the Sun. (The Moon orbits the Earth and both orbit the Sun together.)


Why does the moon chage its shape?

Contrary to popular belief, the phases of the moon throughout a typical month have nothing at all to do with earth's shadow. The earth's shadow passes over the moon only at the time of full moon, and only rarely does it do that. The various phases of the moon that we observe come about because we are actually seeing the long lunar day (it is equal in length to the moon's phase cycle-- one synodic month) pass over the face of the moon that we can see from earth. It's odd to think of the moon going through a day, but as the moon orbits around earth it stands to reason that we will see the moon changing its relationship with the sun. Sometimes we will see the sun shining more on the face we can see, and sometimes we will see the sun shining on the moon at different angles.

How big is the moon and sun together?

If you could compare the sun to the size of a penny, an electronic microscope would be needed to see the moon.


There is no moon when it is?

the reason we sometimes don't see the moon is because the sun is in a posision where the light doesn't reach the moon, there for the light isn't reflected to Earth and we can't see it.


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.


Why is it sometimes you can see the moon in the day and sometimes you can't see it at night?

You can see the moon in the day if it's in a specific phase and position in relation to the sun. During a full moon, it's visible both day and night. When the moon is a crescent or in a different phase, it may not be visible at night due to its position relative to the Earth and the sun.


Why can't we always see the moon?

Because the earth is blocking it. Also, we sometimes can't see the new moon, because it is too close to the sun.


Why does the appearance of the moon throughout its cycle?

Where does the moon go when the sun is rising?

The moon is always orbiting the earth, and can sometimes be seen when the sun is rising, depending on where you are located at on the earth. So if you can't see the moon when the sun is "rising," it means that it is not visible from your field of view from earth. (this means the moon is behind the earth and you can't see it at the moment).


Does the sun turn into a moon or the sun goes down and the moon goes down?

The Sun is always illuminating one side of the Moon and one side of the Earth. When the Earth turns away from the Sun, we can see the sunlight reflecting off the Moon. The reflected light is not as bright, but it's closer. Sometimes you can see the Moon and the Sun at the same time, but the Full Moon cannot rise until after sunset.
