not exactly.its our vision that makes the moon change shape actually its not happening. on cloudy days it happens like MAGIC!!
Because, as the earth rotates it casts a shadow on the moon
because of the sun the moon changes shapes.
Because of the relative positions of the earth, sun and moon.
The moon's shape would change with the impact of meteor's, changing the moon's landscape.
The moon appears to change shape in the night sky because of its position relative to the Earth and the Sun. As the moon orbits the Earth, different portions of its illuminated surface are visible from our perspective, creating the phases of the moon.
The moon does not actually change shape, but its appearance from Earth does. This is due to its orbit around the Earth, which causes different portions of the moon to be illuminated by the sun at different times.
The shape of the moon changes to us on Earth because of the position that the Sun, Moon, and Earth are in at the time. If the Sun, Moon, and Earth are at a 180o angle withe the moon and sun on the out side then we will have a new moon because the earth will be blocking all the light away from the moon.
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.
The moon never changes shape only the light you can see.
The moon doesn't change,it rotates like earth.The sun reflects off the moon and makes the 8 phases.This is Aleeza (10 year old) CHOW!
of course, cheese can be in any shape you'd like
The Moon does not really change its shape. It just seems to change its shape, or go through phases, because we only see the parts of it that are lit up by the Sun. The portion of the Moon that we see depends on where the Moon is in its orbit around Earth. When the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun, the side facing us is dark. We call this a new moon. Gradually, as the Moon orbits Earth, more and more of the side facing us is lit up by sunlight. When the Moon reaches the opposite side of the Earth as the Sun is, the side of the Moon facing us is completely lit up by sunlight and we see a full moon. Then we see less and less of the Moon until it becomes a new moon again. The time that it takes for the Moon to change from one new moon to the next new moon is about 29.5 days.
