Why does the moon appear differently from earth on different nights?
The changing appearance of the moon from Earth is due to its position in relation to the sun and the angle at which it is illuminated. As the moon orbits the Earth, different portions of it are lit by the sun, causing it to appear differently shaped from our perspective. This cycle of changing appearances is known as lunar phases.
