The moon changes its shape or phase because every day it revolves around the Earth in an elongated path
The shape of the lighted part of the moon is called the "phase" of the moon. The phases of the moon change as it orbits Earth, transitioning from new moon to full moon and back to new moon in a cycle lasting about 29.5 days.
The term crescent moon refers to one of the phases of the moon. The Earth's shadow partly blocks the Sun's light from illuminating the face of the Moon at different times the month. The crescent Moon describes the sickle shape of light that is formed when most of the Moon is in shadow.
The general term for the visible lit part of the moon is "the phase of the moon." The visible lit portion can have a crescent shape, a gibbous shape or a "half-moon" (half circle) shape.
Impossible to answer considering the phase change change on a day to day basis.
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.
no.
they do not shape shift. they phase into werewolves. shape shifting implies that they can change into anything. they can only phase into wolves. they can also phase whenever they want, not just on full moons.

The moon was in its first quarter phase on Friday, appearing as a half moon. It transitioned to a waxing gibbous phase on Saturday, where it appears more than half full but less than full.
The term "waning crescent" refers to the shape of the moon as it appears in the sky during the moon's waning phase. It refers to the crescent shape of the moon that is getting smaller each night as it moves towards a new moon phase.
The moon's shape would change with the impact of meteor's, changing the moon's landscape.
