there are books out there in astrology, it shows the phases of the moon and how to interpret it. go on any astrology website. Go on google and type astrology chart and it explains how to read it. hope this helps.

Physical Characteristics\n\nThe study of the moon's surface increased with the invention of the telescope by Galileo in 1610 and culminated in 1969 when the first human actually set foot on the moon's surface. The physical characteristics and surface of the moon thus have been studied telescopically, photographically, and more recently by instruments carried by manned and unmanned spacecraft (see space exploration). The moon's diameter is about 2,160 mi (3,476 km), somewhat more than 1/4 the earth's diameter. The moon has about 1/81 the mass of the earth and is 3/5 as dense. On the moon's surface the force of gravitation is about 1/6 that on earth. It has been established that the moon completely lacks both water and atmosphere. The surface temperature rises above 100°C (212°F) at lunar noon and sinks below −155°C (−247°F) at night. The gross surface features of the moon are visible to the unaided eye and were first studied telescopically in 1610 by Galileo.\n\nSurface Features\n\nThe lunar surface is divided into the mountainous highlands and the large, roughly circular plains called maria (sing. mare; from Lat.,=sea) by early astronomers, who erroneously believed them to be bodies of water. The smooth floors of the maria, varying from flat to gently undulating, are covered by a thin layer of powdered rock that darkens them and accounts for the moon's low albedo (only 7% of the incident sunlight is reflected back, the rest being absorbed). The brighter regions on the moon are the mountainous highlands, where the terrain is rough and strewn with rocky rubble. The lunar mountain ranges, with heights up to 25,000 ft (7800 m), are comparable to the highest mountains on earth but in general are not very steep. The highlands are densely scarred by thousands of craters—shallow circular depressions, usually ringed by well-defined walls and often possessing a central peak. Craters range in diameter from a few feet to many miles, and in some regions there are so many that they overlap or several smaller craters lie within a large crater. Craters are also found on the maria, although there are nowhere near as many as in the lunar highlands. Other prominent surface features include the rilles and rays. Rilles are sinuous, canyonlike clefts found near the edges of mountain ranges. Rays are bright streaks radiating outward from certain craters, such as Tycho.\n\nMare and highland rocks differ in both appearance and chemical content. For example, mare rocks are richer in iron and poorer in aluminum than highland rocks. The maria consist largely of basalt, i.e., igneous rock formed from magma. In the highlands the majority of the rocks are breccias—conglomerates formed from basaltic rock and often studded with small, green, glassy spheres. These spheres probably were formed as the spray of molten rock, originally melted by the heat of meteorite impact, recongealed in midflight. The exposure ages of some rocks (the time their surfaces have been exposed to the action of cosmic rays that produce radioactive isotopes) are as short as 50 million years, much shorter than their crystallization ages. These rocks may have been shifted in position by meteorite impact or seismic activity (moonquakes). However, present lunar seismic activity is very low, corroborating the image of the moon as an essentially static, nonevolving world.\n\nInternal Structure\n\nDiffraction of seismic waves provided the first clear-cut evidence for a lunar crust, mantle, and core analogous to those of the earth. The lunar crust is about 45 mi (70 km) thick, making the moon a rigid solid to a greater depth than the earth. The inner core has a radius of about 600 mi (1,000 km), about 2/3 of the radius of the moon itself. The internal temperature decreases from 830°C (1,530°F) at the center to 170°C (340°F) near the surface. The heat traveling outward near the lunar surface is about half that of the earth but still twice that predicted b

The moon is often visible during the daytime! If it's not visible during the daytime where you are, it's visible from somewhere else on Earth.

The Moon is 400 times smaller than the Sun AND 400 times closer. Why? I don't think there is any real reason, we are just lucky.

We wouldn't know how fast the moon is moving away from Earth.

it's because they use the moon to navigate.  artificial light confuses them.

No. The Earth's moon is terrestrial, meaning it has a rocky surface.

It only looks big because you have other things to compare it against, like trees and houses and things.\nNext time there's a full moon, try it with that (it's easier to observe). When it is low in the sky and looking big, hold your arm out full-length, stick out your thumb and compare your thumb nail size against the moon. Six hours later, when it is up high in the sky, do the same trick and you'll see it is actually the same size.

Distance to the Moon\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n     \n An Astronomy Tid-Bit about the mean and extreme distances to the Moon\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n     \n   Note:  Distance is from center to center of orbiting bodies.\n             Kilometers divided by 1.6093 = miles.       \n\n      Many sources, such as beginning astronomy textbooks, yearbooks, and atlases, give the distance to the moon as 384,400 kilometers (km), and  0.055 as the flattening or eccentricity of the moon's elliptical orbit around the Earth.\n\n      The moon travels around Earth in an elliptical orbit, with the Earth at one of the two focuses (foci) of the ellipse.  As a result the distance to the moon varies by quite large amounts.  Its close (or perigee) distance is 384,400 x (1- 0.055) = 363,258 km.  Its far (or apogee) distance is 384,400 x (1+0.055) = 405,542 km.  BUT these values turn out to be the mean or average values.  See the table below for actual distances.\n\n      The actual (computed) distances over 10 centuries, from  1500 to 2500, have been calculated by the Belgian astronomer, Jean Meeus, to be as small as 356,371 km or as large as 406,720 km./1 These values differ from the MEAN values by 6,887 km and 1,178 km respectively\n\n      An excellent and easy-to-use source for the moon's position and distance is "Multiyear Interactive Computer Almanac" produced by the US Naval Observatory, Wash. DC and published by Willman-Bell, Inc., PO box 35025, Richmond, VA  232235.  The program called "MICA15" is on one CDRom for both IBM and MAC systems.  Included with the disk is an information and instruction book.\n\n      I used MICA15 to scan moon distances for the one  year, 2000, shown in TABLE 1.  The same source was used for the ten-year period, 1995 to 2005.  For this ten years,  the smallest distance (356,613.970 km) between Earth and Moon for this period occurred on November 4, 1998.  The largest occurred on March 14, 2002 when the moon was 406,706.975 km away.

The moon orbits the earth.  It does not 'rise'.  Look in any good newspaper to see what time it is visible in your area.  This information can be found in the weather section.

A satellite is the moon of a planet.

If you go to the old farmers almanac you can find out what the phases and times of the moon were. \nHope this helps

Dust in the upper atmosphere of Earth can make the moon appear to be yellow or orange, even red. The effect is strongest when the moon is near the horizon.
