The changes in the moon's appearance are called lunar phases. They occur because of the moon's position relative to the sun and Earth, resulting in different amounts of the moon's illuminated surface visible from Earth.
The word you are looking for is "phase," which describes the different shapes the Moon appears to take when observed from Earth. These phases are a result of how sunlight is reflecting off the Moon's surface as it orbits Earth.
No, Jupiter's moons do not have phases like Earth's moon. Phases are caused by the changing positions of the sun, Earth, and moon, but Jupiter's moons have no light of their own and do not reflect sunlight in the same way.
Earth's view of the Moon changes over time due to its phases, which result from the relative positions of the Earth, Moon, and Sun. As the Moon orbits Earth approximately every 29.5 days, we see varying portions of its illuminated side, leading to the cyclic appearance of new moons, crescents, first quarters, gibbous phases, and full moons. Additionally, the Moon's position in the sky shifts nightly, influenced by its orbital trajectory and Earth's rotation, altering how we perceive it from different locations on Earth.
Well yes and no. The phases of the moon were understood well before Galileo --- however Galileo discovered the moons of Jupiter and no doubt their associated phases --- as well as the phases of Venus.
phases
Yes.

Venus has no moons.
Mercury does not have any moons.
Yes! Both the moons, that is the Phobos and Deimos have phases like the moon of our's.

you use the moons movement and phases to tell time because of the seasons, rotation, and revolution

mangekyou sharingan
it is called the phases of the moon
