Why does the the moon appear as different shapes as it orbits the earth?
The changing shapes of the moon as it orbits the Earth are due to its position relative to the Sun and the Earth. As the moon orbits the Earth, the amount of sunlight that illuminates the side of the moon facing us changes, causing different portions of the moon to be visible at different times. This creates the different phases of the moon that we observe from Earth.
The moon orbits what planet?
The moon with the specific name 'The Moon' orbits planet Earth.
What does the moon refect as it orbits the moon?
The moon reflects sunlight as it orbits the Earth. Its surface appears to change in appearance due to the varying angles at which sunlight hits it, resulting in different phases of the moon as seen from Earth.
What is the process that causes the moon to change phases?
The moon changes phases because different portions of the moon are illuminated by the sun, as seen by observers on Earth. The angle formed by the sun, the Earth, and the moon, is constantly changing as the Earth orbits the sun and the moon orbits the Earth.
Which planetary body orbits the Earth?
The Moon is the planetary body that orbits the Earth.
How is the earth and moon orbit different?
The Earth orbits around the Sun, while the moon orbits around the Earth.

How are moons and asteroids different?
"An asteroid is a piece of moon that orbits the sun and a moon is a giant rock sphere that orbits earth."
What are the different way the earth move?
The earth turns on its axis; it orbits around the earth-moon barycenter; it orbits around the sun.
Do other planet have different moon from your moon?
Yes they do. Our moon only orbits our planet - earth.
Does the Moon's shape change or does how you see it change?
What changes from days to day is the amount of sunlight we see on the moon. As the moon orbits the earth and the earth orbits the sun, the sun hits the moon at a different angle in relation to the earth.
How does the sun orbits oroung the moon?
The sun does not orbit around the moon. The earth orbits the sun and the earths moon (every planet has 1 or more moons) orbits earth.
What kind of satellite is on the moon and orbits Earth?
The moon IS a satellite that orbits earth
What are three different ways that the earth moves?
The earth turns on its axis; it orbits around the earth-moon barycenter; it orbits around the sun.
