The phases of the Moon are caused by the Moon moving in orbit around the Earth, being lit by the Sun from different angles. Eclipses are caused by the Moon in its orbit passing either between the Earth and the Sun (solar eclipse) or through the Earth's shadow (lunar eclipse). The tides are caused by the gravitational attraction of the Moon (major factor) or Sun (minor factor, because it's farther away) as the Earth rotates on its axis so justou and your carz
