because it spins on its axis every month (roughly every 28 days)
the moon appears to change shapes because you only see the part of it that reflects sunlight THAT YOU CAN SEE. so of the 1/2 of the moon that is illuminated, you only see part of it, the part changing as the moon orbits the earth.
The phases of the moon.
The moon appears to change shape throughout the month due to its phases, which result from its position relative to the Earth and the Sun. As the moon orbits the Earth, different portions of its surface are illuminated by sunlight, creating varying visible shapes, known as phases. These phases progress from new moon to full moon and back, reflecting the moon's changing position in its orbit.
The changing shapes of the moon are called lunar phases. These phases are caused by the relative positions of the sun, Earth, and moon, resulting in different portions of the moon being illuminated as seen from Earth.
That is the lunar cycle, or the phases.
you tell me Crescents?
A crescent? Or a half moon,full moon,new moon, crescent moon
Circle, semi-circle, cresent
Becuz the earth rotates
The changing shape of the moon over the month is called lunar phases. It is caused by the changing relative positions of the Earth, moon, and sun, resulting in different portions of the moon being illuminated by sunlight.
It appears as a full moon twice in one calendar month...rare
We see different shapes of the moon from Earth because of its changing position relative to the sun and Earth, causing different amounts of sunlight to be reflected back to us. This creates the phases of the moon, such as full moon, crescent moon, and new moon.
