The appearance and shape of the Moon we see from Earth change through its phases, which include the new moon, crescent, first quarter, gibbous, and full moon. These phases result from the Moon's orbit around Earth, as different portions of its surface are illuminated by sunlight. The Moon typically appears as a round disk but can show varying shapes depending on the angle of sunlight and its position relative to Earth and the Sun. Additionally, the Moon's surface features, such as craters and maria, can be visible, adding to its distinct look.

What causes the moon Moon to seem to change shape?
The moon looks like it changes shape because as it orbits the Earth and we only see one side of the moon, sunlight hits the part of the moon that we see at different angles - therefore making the moon "change shape". We also can only see the sunlit side of the moon from Earth and that is also another factor to the moon's apparent shape.
When does the moon change shape?
The moon supposedly "changes shape" all the time, as the moon is constantly orbiting the Earth however the moon doesn't actually change shape, it is the amount of the sunlit side of the Earth that we see changing.

Does moon change it shape?
The Moon does not really change its shape. It just seems to change its shape, or go through phases, because we only see the parts of it that are lit up by the Sun. The portion of the Moon that we see depends on where the Moon is in its orbit around Earth. When the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun, the side facing us is dark. We call this a new moon. Gradually, as the Moon orbits Earth, more and more of the side facing us is lit up by sunlight. When the Moon reaches the opposite side of the Earth as the Sun is, the side of the Moon facing us is completely lit up by sunlight and we see a full moon. Then we see less and less of the Moon until it becomes a new moon again. The time that it takes for the Moon to change from one new moon to the next new moon is about 29.5 days.

Why does it occur that the moon changes its shape?
The moon never actually changes shape. What we can see at night is the suns reflection from around on the other side of the earth onto the moon, which depending on its position will give us what we can see of the moon at night.
