Why sometimes the moon is crescent and sometimes full?
From the question, we're not really sure of what information is being sought. No eclipse ... lunar or solar ... ever occurs when the moon is in a crescent phase. Since eclipses are the result of one body crossing through the shadow of another, and the sun is the big flashlight that's causing the shadows, eclipses only occur when the sun, earth, and moon are all lined up. That can happen either with the moon in the middle or else with the earth in the middle, and the corresponding phases are New Moon and Full Moon, respectively.
Is there parts of a moon to make a full one?
No, the different appearances of the moon are caused by the amount of sunlight falling on the near side of the moon (the part we see from Earth).
What is the largest part of the moon?
Apart from the Moon itself? I would guess at the maria which covers 31% of the surface (Near side). or The Mantle.
Why does the moon appears to change shapes?
the moon appears to change shapes because you only see the part of it that reflects sunlight THAT YOU CAN SEE. so of the 1/2 of the moon that is illuminated, you only see part of it, the part changing as the moon orbits the earth.
What does each shape of the moon mean?
It means that only part of the Moon is illuminated by the Sun.
