The moon orbits the Earth and as it does so we see sunlight striking the moon at different angles.
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.
It moves
because sometimes people study the moon in other different ways.
The sun's rays hit the moon, which reflect to Earth, making it look like it's shining. The moon looks like it has a different shape every night because the moon reflects the light in different ways depending on where in orbit is the moon.
As the moon travels around the Earth, different parts of it are lighted by the sun. We see various parts of the face that are being lit by the sun. Since the sun and shadow move around the moon, we see different parts of the moon face, or phases of the moon.
