It happens when the Moon is in different positions in relation to the Earth & the Sun. If the Earth is between the Moon and the Sun; then I think it's called a new Moon. It has to do with how much sunlight is being reflected off of the Moon. If it's partly hit by sunlight then it's. A quarter or crescent Moon. It goes something like that.
