It doesn't
The area that is lit changes
- depending on where the sun is.
The moon's shape would change with the impact of meteor's, changing the moon's landscape.
How did the dirction of the moon change over time? How did the dirction of the moon change over time?
The moon supposedly "changes shape" all the time, as the moon is constantly orbiting the Earth however the moon doesn't actually change shape, it is the amount of the sunlit side of the Earth that we see changing.
its made up of rocks and the shape depends on what time on the month it is.........if it is a full moon its a full circle
A lunar eclipse can only occur at the time of Full Moon.
The new moon sets about the same time as the Sun does.
Obviously the full moon because it is covering a larger area on the moon. That's why whenever there is a full moon you can see well outside at night.
It circles (or orbits) us every 27 days or so. From our viewpoint on earth, we see it from changing angles during this time relative to the sun, so we see a changing shape as varying amounts of light is reflected back to us.
ummm... a circle? :D
The moon is not changing it's shape!
The moon of course isn't really changing shape. It's all about the sun. The lit part of the moon you see is the part of the moon in daylight. The shadowed part is experiencing the moon's night time. These normal phases of the moon have nothing to do with earth casting a shadow on the moon.
The celestial body under the moon can vary depending on the time, location, and phase of the moon. Stars such as Aldebaran or planets like Jupiter or Venus are often visible near the moon in the night sky.
