The moon has four main phases. Every phase of moon is recurring every 27 1/2 days.
Different phases of the moon are visible from Earth due to the relative positions of the Earth, moon, and sun. As the moon orbits Earth, varying amounts of its illuminated half are visible from our perspective, creating the cycle of phases from new moon to full moon and back again. This cycle takes about 29.5 days to complete, leading to the distinct lunar phases we observe in the night sky.
The stages of the Moon, are referred to as the 'Phases of the Moon'.
During a month, the Moon typically goes through eight distinct phases: new moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter, and waning crescent. This cycle takes about 29.5 days to complete, which is known as a lunar month. The phases result from the changing angles of illumination by the Sun as the Moon orbits the Earth.
The moon changes phases as it orbits the Earth. The phase is due to the varying shadow that the Earth casts on the surface of the moon. When the Earth completely blocks the Sun, it is a new moon.
