Why does the moon change faces?
Why does the Moon change shape?The Moon isn't really changing its shape. It is always round. As the Moon moves around Earth, we only see the parts of the Moon that are lit by the Sun. The Sun's light bounces, or reflects, off the Moon.During each month, the Moon seems to change from a tiny sliver to a large bright ball. These shapes are the phases of the Moon. When there is a Full Moon, the Sun lights up the entire side of the Moon that faces Earth. When there is a New Moon, the unlit side of the Moon faces Earth. During a New Moon, you cannot see the Moon.

Why does the moon change it's phases as the month progress?
The phase of the moon you see depends on how much of the sunlit side of the moon faces earth.
Does the moon have day and night if so why?
Just like the earth, the moon has a side that faces the sun (day) and a side that faces away from the sun (night). During a full moon, the side of the moon that faces the earth is lit by the sun and appears in daylight whereas the side of the moon that faces away from the earth is in shadow (night). During a new moon, the opposite is true. The side of the moon that faces the earth is in shadow (night) and the side that faces away from the earth is exposed to the sun (day).
