The patches on the moon are the crators, the crators have shadows which make the craters darker. Which makes the moon appear patchy.
To someone living on the moon, the Earth would appear much larger than it does to those on Earth. It would look about 3.7 times bigger in the sky as seen from the moon.
The moon in the days before and after a full moon appear as a gibbous moon. A gibbous moon is anything between a full moon and a half moon.
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the Sun and the earth. The moon covers most of the sun as viewed from earth. Solar eclipse can only appear when the there is a new moon.
When its closest to the horizon.
The moon may have appeared bigger than usual due to the "supermoon" phenomenon, where the moon is at its closest point to Earth in its orbit, known as perigee. This can make the moon appear larger and brighter in the sky.
It's actually what Patchy the Pirate was going to look like before the guy who plays him was hired.
The moon can appear bigger sometimes due to an optical illusion called the "moon illusion." This occurs when the moon is closer to the horizon, making it appear larger compared to when it is higher in the sky.

it depends on how the earth is facing and bc of the galaxy.

The Moon's orbit is elliptical; it can be as near to Earth as 240,000 miles and as far as 280,000 miles. Near the horizon, there are atmospheric illusions that make the Moon appear to be larger than it is. The more "full" the Moon is, the bigger it appears to be. When these factors are combined, at the time of the perigee full moon, the Moon can be objectively about 15% larger than normal, and the illusion at Moonrise can make the Moon appear to be enormous. The moon looks different sizes at different times due to the distance apart it is from earth. The further away the moon is from earth the smaller it will look. The closer to earth it is the bigger it will look.
The moon may appear big in the night sky due to an optical illusion called the "moon illusion." This occurs when the moon is near the horizon, where objects in the foreground, like buildings or trees, create a frame of reference that makes the moon appear larger in comparison.
This is a well-known optical illusion which is most likely caused by the relative sizes of objects surrounding the Moon. Clouds and buildings appear smaller near the horizon, which makes the Moon look much larger in comparison. When the Moon is high in the sky, clouds and perhaps buildings around it are much closer to you, which makes the Moon look smaller in comparison.
It will appear as a Gibbous moon (3/4 of a full moon).
The moon has never appeared to look rainbow colour, if it does it is because your eyes are playing tricks on you or because you are on drugs.
The moon will appear slightly larger and brighter as it waxes towards a first quarter phase. It will be around 50%-75% illuminated, showing more than half of its face.
The moon sometimes appears red because of smoke or dust in the air. It's really the air that is 'red', but it makes the moon look that way, too.
