Are the phases of the moon caused by the moon moving into the sun's shadow?

No, the phases of the moon are caused by the changing positions of the moon, Earth, and sun in relation to each other. As the moon orbits Earth, different portions of its illuminated half are visible from Earth, leading to the different phases we see.


Can the moon change shape?

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.
