because of your big fat butt hahahhaha
The moon changes phases because different portions of the moon are illuminated by the sun, as seen by observers on Earth. The angle formed by the sun, the Earth, and the moon, is constantly changing as the Earth orbits the sun and the moon orbits the Earth.
two phases of are waxing crescent and waxing gibbous
The moon has different phases that it passes through, just like we have different phases in our lifetimes.
Different phases of the moon appear at different times depending on when the month starts (and which phases appeared prior), however there are eight recognized phases the moon cycles through within 25 days. They are: New, Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full, Waning Gibbous, Last Quarter, and Waning Crescent.
the shape of the moon is caused by the movement of the earth. Earth's shadow causes the shapes. As the earth moves, so does its shadow, creating different shapes (phases).
the process that causes the moon to appear at these different phases of earthlings
The phases of the moon are The phases of the moon appear to change because the earth rotates on it's axis and the moon orbits the earth. The sunlight hits a different part of the moon that is visible to us. Half of the moon is always lit up, you just can't always see it.
Its position in relation to the Earth and the Sun.
Because of its position relative to Earth and the Sun. The Moon orbits the Earth once every 29 days. Starting with day 1. It is a NEW Moon . Its position is in a plane between Earth and Sun. We do NOT see a New Moon, because the Sun's Light over powers it, except when that plane the Moon in , becomes a direct line between Earth Moon & Sun; then it is a Solar Eclipse. From day 2 to 7 the Moon is moving away from the Sun's plane, so we begin to see it . During this period is a WAXING CRESCENT Moon and seen in the evening, shortly after Sunset. At day 7 the Moon is at a right angle(90 degrees) between Earth & Sun, So we see it as a half circle , known as FIRST QUARTER ( Because it has gone a Quarter way around its orbit of Earth). From day 8 to 14 the Moon is moving away from the Sun's plane, so we begin to see it . During this period is a WAXING GIBBOUS Moon and seen in the early night. At day 14 or 15 the Moon is at a plane (180 degrees) This plane is Sun, Earth and Moon. So we see it as a full circle , known as FULL MOON ( Because it has gone a half way around its orbit of Earth). At this point , if the Sun Earth and Moon are in a staight line , we see a LUNAR Eclipse. The Moon is far less bright and appears as a dull red or grey colour, due to Earth's reflected light. From day 15 to 21 the Moon is moving towards the Sun's plane, so we begin to see it . During this period is a WANING GIBBOUS Moon and seen in the late night. At day 21 the Moon is at a right angle(90 degrees) between Earth & Sun, , but on the opposite side of the Earth. So we see it as a half circle , However, the circle is the opposite way around to the first quarter. , known as LAST QUARTER ( Because it has gone a Three Quarter way around its orbit of Earth). From day 22 to 28 the Moon is moving towards the Sun's plane, so we begin to see it . During this period is a WANING CRESCENT Moon and seen in the early morning before sunrise. Day 29 or 1. It is a NEW Moon . Its position is in a plane between Earth and Sun. We do NOT see a New Moon, because the Sun's Light over powers it, except when that plane the Moon in , becomes a direct line between Earth Moon & Sun; then it is a Solar Eclipse. And the process is repeated. As an experiment , Din a darkened room, with a pin-hole of bright light, two balls, one larger than the other. The pin-hole of light is the Sun , The larger ball is the Earth , and the smaller is the Moon. Place the Moon(ball) between Earth(Ball) and Sun (pin hole) and look at it from behind the Earth. . Then move the Moon to a right angled postion and loo at it from the opposite side of the Earth. . Similarly for a stright line , Sun, Earth and Moon , and finally at the opposite side of the Earth. If done well then you should see the Moon (ball) its its different phases(shadows). Hope that helps!!!!!

The process in which includes developing, launching, and creating a venture is known as the entrepreneurship process. This particular process contains five different phases.
3 phases in manufacturing process
Phases!

The moon has different phases that it passes through, just like we have different phases in our lifetimes.
Earth's moon appears to have a different shape as it progresses through lunar phases each month due to the amount of sunlight hitting it.
