The shapes of the moon's sunlit portions are called phases. The main phases include the new moon, crescent, first quarter, gibbous, full moon, and their corresponding waning phases. These phases result from the relative positions of the Earth, Moon, and Sun, which change as the Moon orbits the Earth.
