Why can I see the stars but not the moon?
In space, or on the moon, there’s no atmosphere to spread the light around, and the sky will appear black at midday – but that doesn’t mean it’s not just as bright. Even in space, stars are relatively dim, and simply don’t produce enough light to show up in photos set for bright sunlight.

Why can’t you see the moon every night?
One question and one I will answer here is why you can’t see the moon every night stumps us when the phase runs for 29.5 days. In theory, the moon should be able to be seen every day from the earth. However, when the moon is its new moon phase of the 29.5 days phase cycle.
What happens when the North Star hits the Moon?
During the new moon, if one draws a line from Polaris, the North Star due south toward the sun, that line also hits the moon. New moons are invisible to ground-based observers (unless the moon passes directly in front of the sun, which creates a solar eclipse) because the sunlit side of the moon faces away from Earth.
What would happen to the Earth if there was no moon?
This friction causes the Earth’s rotation to slow slightly. If there was no moon, then the water might spread across the planet equally and reduce the amount of friction. This means that the earth would not slow, which then means that the hours of our days would change.
Can you see the Moon on the back half of the Earth?
If the moon or sun Is in that half, we can see it. Just as there is no sign of the sun on a “clear” night, there is no sign of the moon on a clear night if it’s on the back half of the earth. Call someone on the other side and ask what the phase of the moon might be. If you’re a flat-earther, be sure to ask how that happens.
