The moon is a very large ball of space junk, as are planets, made of rock. Many asteroids, more smaller space junk plummet into the moon's surface, making the holes that we call craters. Sometimes, volcanoes on the moon erupt, and form dark grey areas, called 'seas.'

Why does the moon look the way it does?

It depends on which stage the moon is on its cycle around the earth as the moon make one full turn every 28 days.so when it looks like a banana only a third of the moon is reflecting the suns light to the earth


What are the phase of themoon and what do they look like?

The first phase is a new moon, that is when you can't see the moon at all. Next is a waxing crescent, that is when the moon looks a bit like a banana. The next phase is a half moon (which in space it is actually a quarter moon but in Earth it looks like a half moon) is when the moon is right down the middle. Next is a waxing gibbous, which is when it is nearly full (3 quarters). The next phase is the full moon which is when you can see all the moon reflecting from the Sun. The next phase is a waning gibbous is when the moon is three quarters again but it is facing the other way because its getting smaller. The next phase is the half moon again but facing the other way. The next phase is a waning crescent Moon which is when the moon looks like a banana again but facing the other way. The next phase is back to the new moon when you can see nothing again. That is all the phases of the moon and it take about 28 days to do that while orbiting the earth.

What does waxing gibbous look like?

Gibbous refers to the way the moon looks when it is between half-full and full (or between full and half-full, when it is waning). When it is waxing, it looks a bit like the letter D with the back bulging outward: the entire right side is lit, and the left side is partially lit.
