Moon Phases and People
There is no real scientific evidence for this. The only thing that has a real connection to the moon's phases is to the cycles of the tides.
People will quote anecdotal 'evidence' to try to show connections.
Think of the wolf howling at the moon.
Certain plant species doing abnormal things while it's full or new.
Think of the saying, "Where did all these crazy people come from? It must be a full moon!"
Sometimes people come up with studies which seem to imply connections, but they haven't been able to stand up to rigorous analysis. If you think about it, before widespread street lighting, strong moonlight would enable all sorts of activities that can't happen at the dark of the moon, and people extrapolated from there. The confusion with a woman's menstrual cycle (which certainly can cause mood swings!) is a result of the coincidence of the lengths of the cycles.

Which preposition of time should I use for lunar phases?
You can use the preposition "during" for lunar phases. For example, you can say "during the lunar phases" to refer to the various stages of the moon as it cycles through its different shapes.
Are lunar phases related to lunar eclipses?
Lunar phases are tightly related to both kinds of eclipse: -- A lunar eclipse can occur only at the time of Full Moon. -- A solar eclipse can occur only at the time of New Moon.
How are moon phases associated with solar and lunar eclipses?
Moon phases and lunar eclipses both deal with the earth. They are deal with both the sun and the earth.
Why are lunar calendars not widely used today?
The seasons affect the scheduling of far more events than the moon phases do.
What is the lunar phase origin?
The lunar phases originate from the relative positions of the Earth, Moon, and Sun. As the Moon orbits the Earth, different portions of its illuminated side are visible from Earth, creating the varying lunar phases we observe. The changing positions of these celestial bodies cause the lunar cycle.
What is the scientific evidence supporting the practice of planting by the moon?
There is limited scientific evidence supporting the practice of planting by the moon. Some studies suggest that the moon's gravitational pull may affect plant growth, but more research is needed to fully understand the impact of lunar cycles on agriculture.

Is the sun involved in lunar phases?
no
Are phases of moon evidence of shape of the earth?
No, it has nothing to do with the shape of the Earth. Phases of the Moon are caused by the relative positions of the Sun, the Earth and the Moon. When seen through a telescope, Venus presents similar phases. However, the circular shape of Earth's shadow that is projected on the Moon' surface during a lunar eclipse is evidence that the Earth is round.
Why do we have lunar phases?
it is caused by the reflection of light

What are the different shapes of the moon seem from earth called?
The Moon's Phases (or Lunar Phases).
