There are several lunar features that are visible to the naked eye, and more are visible with even a very small telescope.
The craters are probably the most obvious; circular impact craters caused by the collision of some very large asteroids or comets have created circular mountain ranges that are hundreds of miles in diameter. There are craters in craters, craters ON craters, and chains of craters. Because the Moon lacks an atmosphere, there are no erosive forces to break down and hide the craters (as there is here on Earth) and so the only thing wearing away the old craters are ..... new craters!
Lunar craters are usually named for astronomers and scientists.
The other major features of the Moon are the maria, or seas. Originally believed to be oceans and seas of water by classical observers, we now believe that they were made by lava flows.
The new moon is visible once a month when the moon is blocked by the Earth's shadow
The full moon in October 1951 was: 13th waxing gibbous 98% visible 14th full moon 100% visible 15th full moon 100% visible 16th full moon 98% visible 17th waning gibbous 94% visible
The moon is called a new moon when it is not visible on Earth due to its position in relation to the Sun.
A new moon is when there is little of the moon visible, except possibly a thin crescent. A full moon is when all of the moon is visible.
When there is no moon visible in the sky, it is called a new moon. During this phase, the side of the moon facing Earth is not illuminated by the sun.
crators, maria, elevation. those are some things you can see that are visible on the moon.
There are 8 "named" phases of the Moon, representing the portion of its sunlit surface that is visible from Earth. (Whether the progression is from right to left, or left to right, depends on whether you are north or south of the Equator) New moon (Not visible or very barely visible) Waxing Crescent moon (1-49% visible) First Quarter moon (50% visible) Waxing gibbous moon (51-99% visible) Full Moon (Fully visible) Waning gibbous Moon (51-99% visible, opposite side of face from Waxing) Last Quarter Moon (50% visible, opposite half from that visible on First Quarter) Waning Crescent Moon (1-49% visible)

it is not visible but it is there
yes the moon is visible when the sun is up
The moon is visible to observers on Earth because it reflects sunlight. This reflection allows the moon to be illuminated, making it visible in the night sky.

during a new moon
New moon.
The moon is visible for the same reason every object is visible: it reflects light.
