The phase of the moon that you see depends on the relative positions of the Earth, moon, and sun. As the moon orbits Earth, different portions of its illuminated side are visible from Earth, creating the various phases like full moon, new moon, crescent, and gibbous. These phases change as the moon's position changes in relation to the Earth and sun.

The phase of the moon depends on?
The phase of the moon depends on its position relative to the Earth and the Sun. As the moon orbits the Earth, its position changes and different amounts of sunlight reflect off its surface, creating the different phases we see from Earth.
In what phase can we not see the Moon from Earth?
In the new Moon phase.
Why does the moon change it's phases as the month progress?
The phase of the moon you see depends on how much of the sunlit side of the moon faces earth.
What was the phase of the moon?
It depends on when you're talking about. The moon moves about the earth constantly, which means we see different areas at different times. The "phases" are caused by our own shadow falling across the moon and shading different parts of it, so which phase the moon is in depends on what day it is.
What phase of the moon can you not see?
During the new moon phase, the side of the moon facing Earth is not illuminated by the sun, making it impossible to see.
Why does the moon changes phase as the months progress?
The phase of the moon you see depends on how much of the sunlit side of the moon faces earth.
The phase of moon you see depends on?
the reflection of light from the sun.

What part of the moon would you see depends on how much of the sunlit side of the moon faces earth?
Phase
What phase of the moon do you see in the first week?
We see the full moon {the phase}.
In what phase can we not see the Moon from Earth?
In the new Moon phase.
What does the phase on the moon you see depend on?
The phases of the moon are dependant on the relative positions of the sun, moon and earth. It's the angle between the view-lines to the sun and the moon, with you at the vertex of the angle. The phase of the moon you see depends on how much of the sunlit side of the moon faces earth.

When you see a new moon and after a week which phase of the moon will you see?
After a week from new moon, you'll see a half moon. This is more correctly called the First Quarter phase of the Moon.
What phase of the moon can you not see?
During the new moon phase, the side of the moon facing Earth is not illuminated by the sun, making it impossible to see.
