What motion causes the Moon's phases?
the orbit cause it.
Is the moon kept in orbit by gravity or lunar phases?
Gravity.
What can be seen from earth's orbit other than the moon?
The moon's phases can be seen from the earth, but not by an observer on the moon. Similarly, the earth's phases can be seen from the moon, but not by an observer on the earth.
Does the moon change shape in a full orbit?
No - the moon itself stays the same shape. The phases of the moon change as the earth and moon orbit round the sun. The phases are simply the amount of sunlight reflected in relation to the position of the earth's shadow cast on the moon
What dtermines the phases of the moon?
Moon phases are determined by the moon position in Earth's orbit, which in turn reveals more (or less) of it's illuminated side from our perspective.
How does the movement of Earth and the Moon's orbit causes the phases of the moon?
the earths blockage of sun light
Are the phases of the moon caused by the Moon's orbit around the earth?
Yes - actually it is caused by the varying angle between Sun, Earth, and Moon; and that depends mainly on the Moon's orbit.
What effect does the Moon's and earth's orbit have on the moon phases and the way we see them?
The effect of the moon is werewolfs come out and howl
What does the moon phases look like?
Moon phases are the phases the moon goes through on its orbit of the Earth. They range from a white circle to a thin sliver of light like crescent they are nacture giantsRead more: What_does_moon_phases_look_like
