Why do we see differences in the appearance and movements of the Sun and Moon from Earth
The changes in the moon's appearance are called lunar phases. They occur because of the moon's position relative to the sun and Earth, resulting in different amounts of the moon's illuminated surface visible from Earth.
The Moon's changing appearance is called its phases. This is caused by the relative position of the Moon, Earth, and Sun, creating different amounts of sunlight reflecting off the Moon's surface as seen from Earth.
the planet after earth is mars
The moon changes in appearance from the perspective of people on Earth because it is revolving around the planet and Earth is revolving around the Sun. When the Moon and Sun are on the same side of Earth, we do not see the moon because the side that is illuminated by the Sun is pointing away from us. This is called the new moon. When the moon is on the opposite side of Earth two weeks later, (Earth is between the Moon and Sun) the illuminated side is pointing toward us and we see the whole side of the Moon lit up. This is our full Moon. Everything else is during the times when the Moon is becoming full or becoming new again. Unfortunately I can't draw a diagram on this site but you can check out any good astronomy book or website to find one.
