Why does the tide come at a different time each day?
The tide is based on the phases of the moon and sun.
How did the moon look like on the month of December 2008?
Just about the same as any other month, the moon really doesn't change much. Over the course of the month, it went through all of the phases. Check the related links section to see what phase it was on each day.
What changes take place in the visible shape of the moon day to day?
Phases of the moon
What are the different phases of the moon are caused by the moon's near 28 day?
New Moon, First Quarter, Full Moon, and Last Quarter are the four phases of the Earth's Moon.
How does the moon look from day to day?
The moon appears to change shape due to its position relative to the Earth and the Sun. This change in appearance, known as the moon's phases, occurs because we see different portions of its illuminated surface as it orbits Earth. The cycle of moon's phases repeat approximately every 29.5 days.

How do you predict moon phases?
Moon phases can be predicted by understanding the position of the moon in its orbit around the Earth relative to the sun. As the moon orbits the Earth, the amount of sunlight reflected off its surface changes, causing the different phases (new moon, first quarter, full moon, last quarter). This cycle repeats approximately every 29.5 days. Astronomers use this understanding to create moon phase calendars and predict the phases for any given date.
Why does the moon phases change a certain day?
The moon changes phases as it orbits the Earth. The phase is due to the varying shadow that the Earth casts on the surface of the moon. When the Earth completely blocks the Sun, it is a new moon.
How the moon become smaller and smaller and then become greater and greater?
When that happens it is called '' phases '' of the moon . Every day the phase can change . For example , the '' new moon '' , is when there is no moon . And '' full moon is like a white circle in the sky .
What is the origin of the present day calendar?
It reflects the phases of the moon
Why do the phases of the moon change every year?
The calendar dates of new moon, full moon, etc. change every year because there aren't an even number of lunar cycles in a year. It's similar to how the day of the week a particular date falls on changes from year to year because there aren't an even number of weeks in a year.
Why do you see phases of the Moon and not of the Sun?
We see phases of the Moon because we see the Moon by the Sun's light reflected off it. As the Earth and Moon orbit each other, the Sun-Moon-Earth angle changes, and we see different portions of the Moon's day side. The Sun is a star, so it shines with its own light and so there is no dark side.
