Why does the moon appear as a different shape in the sky on different nights?
The moon appears as a different shape in the sky on different nights because of its position in relation to the Earth and the Sun. As the moon orbits the Earth, the amount of sunlight that reflects off its surface changes, causing different portions of the moon to be visible from Earth. This creates the different shapes, or phases, of the moon that we see in the sky.

Then you get the scientific "new moon."

No, because the moon orbits the Earth, its position in the sky changes each night. The moon rises and sets at different times and in different locations depending on its phase.
