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.

Why does the moon have different shapes in the sky and what are those shapes called?
The moon has no light of its own and the only reason that we can see it at all is because of light from our sun falling onto the moon and then being reflected back to us. When the earth lies between the sun and the moon, part of the moon disc will seem to disappear because it lies in the earth's shadow and this is why the moon looks to be different shapes throughout the month. As the portion of the moon that we can see is getting larger, the moon is said to be "waxing". Once the moon has passed the point where we can see all of it (the full moon) and starts to look smaller, it is said to be "waning". The names of all of the phases of the moon's cycle are: new moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter, waning crescent. You can see some images of the moon's phases in the Sources and related links section, below.

How does the moon appear different shapes?
The different shapes of the moon depend on the position of it, the earth and sun. The moon doesn't actually create light. it reflects it from the sun. The earth simply blocks some of the light, creating a shadow on the moon.
