The changing appearance of the moon, known as its phases, is caused by the varying amounts of sunlight reflected off its surface as it orbits Earth.

This results in the different lunar phases we see from Earth.

The orbit of the Moon is eleiptical , sometimes close and sometimes farther away from the earth and when the alignment happens at a time when the Moon is farther away, the eclipse is annular (like a ring).
