no the earth is bigger than the moon
the shape
No - the moon itself stays the same shape. The phases of the moon change as the earth and moon orbit round the sun. The phases are simply the amount of sunlight reflected in relation to the position of the earth's shadow cast on the moon
The moon's shape remains the same at all times. The aspect of the moon changes because the shadow moves across its surface as it revolves around the earth.
While the Moon does indeed turn (i rotates once on its axis in exactly the same time as it takes it to orbit the Earth), this rotation does NOT change the shape of the Moon.
Technically, the shape of the moon never changes. What changes is what we saw on Earth. The shape we see depends on the alignment of the Moon, Earth, and Sun.
No. Everybody anywhere on earth who can see the moon at all sees the same illuminated shape at the same time.
It will be a waning gibbous. The moon itself will remain the same shape it always has; spherical. However, from the Earth, it will resemble an oval-like shape; almost a half circle.
a ball
The moon orbits the earth almost a complete circle.
Every month as the Moon cycles through its phases it appears to change shape. The Moon always has the same spherical shape, but stargazers on Earth see different fractions of the dark and illuminated portions of the Moon as the Moon orbits Earth. The common urban myth that Earth's shadow falling on the Mooncauses lunar phases is incorrect.
The moon supposedly "changes shape" all the time, as the moon is constantly orbiting the Earth however the moon doesn't actually change shape, it is the amount of the sunlit side of the Earth that we see changing.
Erm, sentence fragment! It is always the same shape, it just phases. This is when the earth is blocking the sunlight from getting to the moon, and so shadows fall on it, making it appear to change shape. Please learn some grammar.
