What differences in the Moon's pull on different parts of earth cause?
When the moon pulls on different parts of the Earth it causes tides
How does the moon change?
It changes by the sun's reflection on different parts of the moon
Why do we think we see phases of the moon?
As the moon travels around the Earth, different parts of it are lighted by the sun. We see various parts of the face that are being lit by the sun. Since the sun and shadow move around the moon, we see different parts of the moon face, or phases of the moon.
What causes the different parts of the moon to appear lighted?
The different parts of the moon appear lighted because of sunlight reflecting off its surface. As the moon orbits Earth, the angle of sunlight hitting its surface changes, causing different parts to be lit or in shadow. This results in the different phases of the moon as seen from Earth.

Is the moon the same in every state?
Actually, no. Due to the gravitational pull of certain beings in different parts of the world and due to the ovular shape of the moon, different places actually see different views of the moon.
Differences in the moon's pull on different parts of Earth cause what?
The differences in the moon's pull on different parts of Earth cause the ocean tides. This gravitational force causes the water levels in the oceans to rise and fall, creating high and low tides throughout the day.
Why do you have a crescent moon?
When you observe a crescent moon it is because only that crescent portion of the moon is illuminated by the sun from your particular perspective, here on Earth. If we were looking at the moon from a different angle in space, we would see different parts of the moon illuminated by the sun.
What was the phase of the moon?
It depends on when you're talking about. The moon moves about the earth constantly, which means we see different areas at different times. The "phases" are caused by our own shadow falling across the moon and shading different parts of it, so which phase the moon is in depends on what day it is.
Is there parts of a moon to make a full one?
No, the different appearances of the moon are caused by the amount of sunlight falling on the near side of the moon (the part we see from Earth).
Why does the moon change its shepe?
It doesn't. We just see different parts of it illuminated by the Sun.
Why does the the moon appear as different shapes as it orbits the earth?
The changing shapes of the moon as it orbits the Earth are due to its position relative to the Sun and the Earth. As the moon orbits the Earth, the amount of sunlight that illuminates the side of the moon facing us changes, causing different portions of the moon to be visible at different times. This creates the different phases of the moon that we observe from Earth.
