because of the location of the moon with respect to the sun and earth.
Are the phases of the moon caused by the moon moving into the sun's shadow?
no its caused by the moon moving in to the earths shadow
Is the earths orbit around the sun a cause of the phases of the moon?
No. The moon's orbit around the earth is.
How does the movement of Earth and the Moon's orbit causes the phases of the moon?
the earths blockage of sun light
Does the earths rotation cause the Moon's phases?
Not only the earth's rotation , the lunar phases change cyclically as the Moon orbits the Earth, according to the changing positions of the Moon and Sun relative to the Earth.
How do tides change between moon phases?
it moves in and out through he moon and earths gravitatonal pull it gets stronger with the moon when it is full and less he there is a new moon :)
When the earths shadow falls on the moon?
