Half of the moon is always lit up by the sun at any given time, and the moon orbits the Earth so us observers on Earth will see different amounts of the moon lit up. These different "shapes" we see are called the phases of the moon.

We see different shapes of the moon from Earth because of its changing position relative to the sun and Earth, causing different amounts of sunlight to be reflected back to us. This creates the phases of the moon, such as full moon, crescent moon, and new moon.

The phases of the moon are caused by its orbit around Earth, which results in varying amounts of sunlight reflecting off its surface. As the moon moves around Earth, we see different portions of its illuminated side, creating the different phases that we observe from Earth.
The changing shapes of the moon as seen from Earth are due to its orbit around our planet. As the moon moves in its orbit, different amounts of sunlight illuminate its surface, creating different phases such as full moon, new moon, crescent, and quarter moon. This shifting position relative to the sun and Earth causes the moon to appear as different shapes throughout its cycle.
You see the moon at night when it reflects sunlight from the sun. The moon's appearance changes throughout the month as it orbits Earth, leading to different phases such as full moon, half moon, and crescent moon.
The moon itself doesn't change shape. What you see is the moon's daylight and night time periods moving across its face.
When it Orbits Around The moon We can see it at different angles and all the time it is different sometimes crescent quarter half or full moon.
The moon's appearance changes due to its position relative to the sun and Earth. As the moon orbits the Earth, we see different amounts of sunlight reflecting off its surface. This creates the different moon phases, from new moon to full moon and back.
