Phases
The changes in the moon's appearance are called lunar phases. They occur because of the moon's position relative to the sun and Earth, resulting in different amounts of the moon's illuminated surface visible from Earth.
The first quarter and third quarter moons are also called
Moons of planets are typically called natural satellites because they orbit a planet just like how the moon orbits Earth. These moons vary in size and composition depending on the planet they orbit.
Mars has two moons one is called phobos and the second is called deimos.
The craters on moons are simply called craters. They are formed by impact events from asteroids, comets, or meteoroids striking the surface of the moon.

it is called the phases of the moon
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!

they are called moons
It's because of the orbits. If you mean the size, the Moon NEVER changes in size or orbit distance that much. It's because your brain is fooling you and you compare the moons' size to other objects in the sky such as clouds and / or buildings.
The largest of Mars' moons is called Phobos.
Because the astronomer galileo galilei discovered the four moons.
Neptune Has 8 moons and the largest of these moons is called Triton and was found by the Voyager2 in 2008
Two tiny moons called, "Deimos and Phobos".
There are moons in Saturn's rings, they are called shepherd moons because they help keep the rings intact.
The first quarter and third quarter moons are also called
