No, Actually aliens make the moon's phases.
What causes seasons tides eclipses and phases of the moon?
Season result from the tilt of the earth in relation to the sun. Tides are caused (mainly) by the gravitational pull of the moon. An eclipse is a shadow, cast by the earth onto the moon, or a shadow of the moon cast on the earth. The phases of the moon are the part of the moon visible to the earth that is illuminated by the sun.
T or F The phases of the moon are caused by the positions of the Earth Sun and Moon?

Do phases of the moon have anything to do with Earth's shadow falling on the moon?
No, the phases of the moon are caused by the sun's light hitting the moon at different angles when viewed from Earth. The Earth's shadow is what causes a lunar eclipse.

Are phases of moon evidence of shape of the earth?
No, it has nothing to do with the shape of the Earth. Phases of the Moon are caused by the relative positions of the Sun, the Earth and the Moon. When seen through a telescope, Venus presents similar phases. However, the circular shape of Earth's shadow that is projected on the Moon' surface during a lunar eclipse is evidence that the Earth is round.
