The Moon goes through a series of phases as it orbits the Earth, which are primarily influenced by its position relative to the Earth and the Sun. These phases include the New Moon, Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, Last Quarter, and Waning Crescent. During this cycle, the illuminated portion of the Moon visible from Earth changes, creating the appearance of different shapes. This cycle takes approximately 29.5 days to complete, known as a lunar month.

Why does the moon seems to change its shape as it moves around the earth?
The moon's changing appearance is due to its position relative to the sun and Earth. As the moon orbits Earth, the amount of sunlight that reflects off its surface changes, creating the phases we see from Earth.

How and why the moon change it shapes?
The Moon only seems to "change shape". We only see one side of the Moon from Earth. The variation in the amount of sunlight hitting that side of the Moon, as it orbits Earth, is why we see the apparent changes in shape. These changes are called "lunar phases".

How do moon changes?
