How can you tell what phase the moon is in every night?

go to this website: http://tycho.usno.navy.mil/vphase.html and type in the information, they'll tell you what the shape is for that day.  Then go to this website to look up the name: http://www.calculatorcat.com/moon_phases/moon_phases.phtml

Moonrise has nothing to do with its phases.  The moon's phases come about as it orbits the Earth in 28 days.  When it's behind the Earth (from the sun's point of view) the disk of the Earth blocks out some of the moon when looking at it from the Earth, creating the phases.  When the Earth is not in the way, we see the moon as full.\n\nThat said, as the moon goes towards full, it rises earlier and earlier because of the monthly cycle, so it's not unusual to see a full moon at sunset, whereas you might see a crescent moon already high in the sky other times.

To tell if the moon is waxing (getting bigger) or waning (getting smaller) look at which side of the moon is "filled-in," or visible. If the right side is visible, the moon is waxing (getting bigger.) If the left side is visible, the moon is waning (getting smaller.)\n\nO'course, if you live in the Southern Hemisphere this is the opposite (the left/right visibility factor is reversed.)

Also, we only see it when it is above the horizon.\n\nDuring the day, the sun is obviously above the horizon.  But the moon sets an hour or so later each day, so sometimes it is below the horizon in the day, and sometimes not.

most calenders do not show the lunar phases, but some do.  fewer calenders show the time when the moon is full.  the full moon can occur at any time of day and does not depend on an observer's local time.  the program called "moon tool" will show the time and date of the lunar phases.\n\nhttp://www.fourmilab.ch/moontoolw/\nhttp://www.pure-mac.com/astronomy.html

the moon goes thru a cycle of 4 phases each month(one a week). They are first, full, third and new.\nThink of a clock(with the earth in the very middle and the sun off to the left).Then first quarter would be down at 6, full would be over at 3, third would be at 12 and new(which is between the earth and the sun) would be at 9.

First of all i would like to say that you are some kind of good thinker.. well for 4 years old, this kind of question may too complex for you. But i try to answer it for our knowledge.\n\nWell the moon is not just go down when the sun is up. The world is rotating itself, while the world is rotating around the sun. In the same time, the moon is rotating around the earth and the sun. When you are at any part of the earth expecially near to the equator, you will see some kind of nice organized pattern of when sun is out, the moon is gone, otherwise vise versa. \n\nWell, actually this is not the true. The moon is still there rotating around the earth in 24 hour time, but when the part of the earth where get alots of sun shine, the brighness of the moon will dissphere like you shine a touch in a good shinine day. The light from the touch will not seen as in the dark. But we cannot say that the ligh is gone. The light is still there but, due to the brigher light of the sun (higher cendela - unit for light), the reflaction light of moon is not seen.\n\nThere are some infomation that i can help you. It's good to think!!!

On new moon day, the moon and sun are in the same direction from earth.\n\nThe non illuminated portion of the moon is turned toward us. In the bright background of light we are not able to see the moon.\n\nSince the earth rotates about its axis, this new moon is for all in the world.  \nThe sun and moon rises in the east and sets in the west almost with no time difference.\nTherefore the moon is in the sky during day time, even though we are not able to see it.\n\nIn each day, the moon separates from the sun approximately by 12 degree.\n\nAfter one or two days latter, the moon is separated from the sun towards east. Therefore, we see the moon (crescent moon) after sun set for few hours in the west or in the   evening. All persons in the world will view the crescent moon when it is evening for them.\n\nApproximately after seven days, the moon separates from the sun through 90 degree. \n When the sun comes to the zenith, the moon rises in the east. The moon appears as a half moon in the east. For the viewers it is a day time. We see the half moon from the afternoon of this day till mid night in the sky. At mid night it sets in the West. \n When the sun sets in the west the moon is seen in the zenith. All people in the world will see the half moon from mid day to mid night.\n\n\nAfter approximately fifteen days, the moon is separated from the sun through 180 degree. When the sun sets in the west moon rises in the west. We call this as full moon. Through out the night the full moon will be visible and during day time it will not be visible. This is the same for all people in the world. \n\nOne can complete this cycle from Full moon to new moon (in another 15 days).

7.349 x 10 ^22 kg - every night! (source: NASA) :)\n\nThe apparent size of the moon varies.  Check this link for an explanation:\n\nhttp://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/solarsystem/bigmoon_000105.html

You only see one side of the moon from the Earth because the moon spins and rotates at just the right speeds.  As the moon revolves around the Earth it also spins around it's axis.  These two speeds happen to be just right so that the same side of the moon is always facing the Earth.  The phases of the moon are caused by the Earth casting a shadow on the moon, you can only see the part of the moon that's reflecting light from the Sun.
