What causes the phrases of earths moon?
Several factors cause the phases of the moon. The "light" side of the moon is light because light from the sun reflects off of it. (Interestingly enough, because of the way the moon revolves on its axis and revolves around the earth, the same side is light at all times.) The side that faces the sun is always light. As the moon revolves around the earth, the angle at which we see the moon changes, so we see different parts of the moon. This causes phases.
