The moon's appearance changes due to its phases, which result from its position relative to the Earth and the Sun. As the moon orbits the Earth, different portions of its surface are illuminated by sunlight, causing it to appear as a crescent, half, or full moon. This cyclical process takes about 29.5 days to complete, known as a lunar month. Additionally, the moon's tilt and the Earth's atmosphere can also affect how we perceive its brightness and color.
the sun because the moon doesnt make its own light
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.
In our Solar System, Jupiter has the most moons with 63.
As of now, Saturn holds the record for the most moons in the Milky Way, with over 80 confirmed moons. This surpasses Jupiter, which has 79 known moons. The number of moons around these planets can change as new discoveries are made and confirmed through ongoing observations and research.

The sun
phases
The moons appearance changes because what we see from the earths surface is a reflection influenced by three diferent sources the sun, earth, and moon. The reflection we see is completely dependent upon the given position of these three bodies and that is why the appearance appears to change. However, if you use a telescope you should find the surface of the moon doesn't in fact change what changes is the shaded area! Hope this helps!
the moons cycle i think
If a force causes an object to change shape, it means that the force is causing deformation in the object by altering its structure or appearance. This change in shape can be temporary or permanent, depending on the magnitude and nature of the force applied.
the sun because the moon doesnt make its own light
The major cause of mechanical weathering on the moon is micrometeorites. These tiny rocks hit the moons surface and over time, change it.
The moons gravational pull in the earth
The tidal effect (guess where it got that name) caused by the gravity of the Sun and Moon.
rays of light from the sun
Yes, pavers can be painted to change their appearance.
