Yes. One half of the moon is illuminated by the Sun at any given time. But from Earth, we see the Moon at an angle. So only part of the illuminated area is visible, which we call a "phase" of the Moon. Only when the Moon is on the far side of Earth, directly opposite the Sun, do we see a "full moon."
You can create this effect with a lamp in a darkened room, using a ball to represent the Moon. Stand away from the lamp with the ball in your hand, and hold it out to one side. You will see one dark half and one lit half. If you turn so that the Moon is behind you, farther from the light than you are, you will see more of the lit side. (If you are blocking the light from reaching the ball, you have simulated an eclipse of the Moon, which can only occur during a full moon.)
because the wind blows them into different shapes. :)
Moon phases. As the moon revolves around the earth on its tilted path, (search for diagrams to find out what happens with it tilted) the light from the sun hits the moon and reflects towards earth. But we see a different amount of light and darkness depending on where it is in the orbit. This causes us to see different shapes.
the sun rays always reaching to the moon. when the earth block the sun rays from reaching the moon, the lunar eclipse can be formed. But the moon revolves round the earth, the blocks are removing from the moon. so the moon got different shapes.
there are different shapes of the moon because its when the sun reflects on it on a way that's why the moon changes shape
Those are the different shapes of the lit portion of the Moon that can be seen from Earth
Asteroid has uneven shapes. Dwarf planet is a large, round object that revolves around the Sun but has not cleared the region around its orbit.
T he appearance of moon regularly in different shapes. Also the day and night formation confirms the revolution of moon round the earth.

Cells are different shapes and sizes because they have different functions. The functions dictate the shapes and sizes.
Because you have to use different shapes in your life.
This is because the animals which live in them have different shapes and sizes.
Because animals are all different shapes and sizes

Because they are different products!
popcorn gets different shapes because as the water in the kernel gets hotter it starts boiling and expands creating different size and shapes popcorns
