No.
No, the phases of the moon are caused by the sun's light hitting the moon at different angles when viewed from Earth. The Earth's shadow is what causes a lunar eclipse.
No, Actually aliens make the moon's phases.
the shape of the moon is caused by the movement of the earth. Earth's shadow causes the shapes. As the earth moves, so does its shadow, creating different shapes (phases).
the proximity of the earth, moon, and sun. The moon reflects the light of the sun, but it can't do that if it's in the earth's shadow, or partly in the earth's shadow.
As the Moon passes behind Earth it is covered by Earth's shadow.
a Lunar Eclipse
The shadow of the Earth on the moon's surface is the reason that it takes different phases. When the Earth completely occludes the moon, it is a new moon, and when there is no shadow, it is a full moon.

It moves around the earth. So the earth makes a shadow on the moon.
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.
A solar eclipse is the shadow of the Moon falling on the Earth.
The moon changes phases as it orbits the Earth. The phase is due to the varying shadow that the Earth casts on the surface of the moon. When the Earth completely blocks the Sun, it is a new moon.
