The phases of the moon are the different ways the moon looks during the month. As the Moon moves in space, different parts of it face the Sun. This means that different parts of it are lit up. We only see one side of the moon from the Earth because it rotates so that one side is always facing us. The moon phase takes between 29 and 30 days. The phases of the moon appears to be a circular disk, which is illuminated to some degree by direct sunlight.
Tides are caused by the gravity of the Moon.

Why does the space shuttle track on the surface of the earth in a serpentine configuration?
That apparent course is actually more to do with the fact that the shuttle and most satellites orbit the earth at angles to both the lines of latitude and longitude. Also there is the factor that Earth is rotating as they orbit. It is a combination of the two, shown on a two-dimensional screen that gives the apparent serpentine orbit, although that is not what is actually happening.
