The Moon is a massive object that orbits the Earth at a relatively close distance. When the sun shines directly on it, it lights it up, making it very easy for us to see when it starts to move to the side of the Earth that is further from the Sun. As it orbits, initially more and more of it seems to be lit up as we view it from Earth, until it reaches full Moon. Then it begins to wane, with less and less of it visible until we can't see it at all, before the process starts again.
