Well, honey, the moon's phases change as it orbits Earth, and these changes have nothing to do with the sun's position in the sky. The moon's phases depend on the angle between the Earth, moon, and sun, so the sun's position just provides the light for us to see those beautiful lunar shifts.
What else can I help you with?
What changes the phases of the moon?
as the moon moves around the sun different amounts of the suns light shine on it the parts of the moon that the sunlight shines on is the part we on earth can see making all the phases of the moon and the moon go around the ether 24 hours in a day BY:MOJOOD ESSA
Does the moon creates its own light?
No, the moon does not create its own light. It reflects sunlight from the Sun, which is why we see different phases of the moon as it orbits the Earth.
Why are there new phases of the moon each night?
The phases of the moon are determined by how much of the moon we can see from earth. The amount of the moon we see is determined by how much of the suns light is reflected from it back to us. As the moon moves round the earth and the earth moves round the sun the amount of light that gets bounced back from moon changes because of its different possitions.
What is an example of moonlight?
Moonlight is simply a reflection of the suns light agaist the surface of the moon. The different phases of the moon is cause by the earth obstrucing the suns rays so they do not come in contact with the moon and cannot be sceane. The phases change in a month in correlation to the orbit of the sun.
What is the suns phase?
The sun does not have phases. It creates phases on objects between the earth and the sun. Objects beyond earth's orbit do not have phases.
Why when your above the earth the moon never changes and when your on earth they change phases?
because of the suns reflections

The moon shines by reflected what?
We see the suns' light reflecting off the moon. There is some of the Earths' light also. The sun illuminates the moon as it orbits the Earth a give it the phases we see.

What are the phases of the moon and when do they occur?
The phases of the moon are: New moon Waxing crescent Quarter moon Waxing gibbous Full moon Waning gibbous Third-quarter moon Waning crescent
What two ways does the suns position in the sky change?
what two ways does the suns position change in the sky
Why does it occur that the moon changes its shape?
The moon never actually changes shape. What we can see at night is the suns reflection from around on the other side of the earth onto the moon, which depending on its position will give us what we can see of the moon at night.
Is Mercury the suns moon?
No, a planet.
Are stars in the night sky most like the moon?
No, stars in the night sky are not like the moon. Stars are distant suns that emit their light, while the moon reflects the light of the sun. Stars appear as small points of light, whereas the moon is a larger, closer celestial body that can be seen in different phases.
