Why do you see different phases of the moon on different days of the month?

The phase of the moon that you see is the part of the moon that is illuminated by the sun. The relative positions of the sun and moon with respect to a viewer on Earth gradually shift during the lunar month, so that different sections of the moon are illuminated.

How long does it take the moon to go through it's cycles?

Why does the moon appear to have different shPES DURING DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE MOHTH?

The moon appears to have different shapes, or phases, throughout the month due to its position relative to the Earth and the Sun. As the moon orbits the Earth, varying portions of its illuminated side are visible from our perspective, leading to phases such as new moon, crescent, first quarter, gibbous, and full moon. This cycle takes about 29.5 days to complete, resulting in the changing appearance of the moon over the course of the month.

Why do we see phases of the moon during a month?

Because the Moon orbits the Earth about once each month. Since the moon is roughly spherical, when light hits it on one side we seen a different shape depending on its position relative to Earth, and these shapes define the different phases.
