The Earth would appear to go through the same phases that we see in the Moon, except that the Earth would appear to be almost stationary in the sky; it would wiggle a little.
What else can I help you with?
How often do the moon phases change?
The moon phases change approximately every 7.4 days, as the moon transitions from new moon to full moon and back again. This cycle is known as a lunar month or synodic month.
How long does it take the moon to complete an entire phase change?
It takes about 29.5 days for the moon to complete an entire phase change cycle, which includes all the phases from new moon to full moon and back to new moon. This period is known as a lunar month or synodic month.
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.
Why does the moon change it's phases as the month progress?
The phase of the moon you see depends on how much of the sunlit side of the moon faces earth.
What is the changing shape of the moon over the month called?
The changing shape of the moon over the month is called lunar phases. It is caused by the changing relative positions of the Earth, moon, and sun, resulting in different portions of the moon being illuminated by sunlight.
How does the Moon's shape change over time?
How did the dirction of the moon change over time? How did the dirction of the moon change over time?
Does the moon change shape throughout the month?
No.
How often do the moon phases change?

Does the moon change shape every month?
sometimes
What is the movements of Earth and the Moon over the course of a month?
Over the course of a month, Earth rotates on its axis approximately 30 times and orbits around the Sun once. Meanwhile, the Moon orbits around Earth approximately 12-13 times, causing its phases to change from new moon to full moon and back.
Why does the moon cross the equator twice each lunar month?
The moon crosses the equator twice each lunar month due to the moon's change of declination.
What causes the moon to appear differently over the course of a month?
The angle between the moon, the Earth, and the sun changes over a month, and since we only see the side of the moon that is reflecting the sun's light, it seems that the moon appears differently.
What causes the moon to change its shape over the course of about a month?
The moon does not really change shape- its visible outline changes. This is due to the angle of sunlight falling on the moon in relation to the earth. If the sunlight is shining at a 90 degree angle from one side, then half the moon is illuminated and visible, half is dark.
How long does it take the moon to complete an entire phase change?
It takes about 29.5 days for the moon to complete an entire phase change cycle, which includes all the phases from new moon to full moon and back to new moon. This period is known as a lunar month or synodic month.

How does the moon change to half moon to full moon?
The Moon itself doesn't change at all. What we see as the "phases" of the Moon are simply the month-long days and nights on the Moon's surface. The light comes from the Sun, over THERE, while we see the daylit part of the Moon from the Earth, HERE. At the "new" phase, the daytime side of the Moon is the farside; at the new, we're seeing the lunar night. At the full moon, we see the lunar noon.
