The different shapes that the moon appears to be are described as phases: new moon, crescent moon, first quarter, gibbous moon, full moon, and waning phases. These terms reflect the varying amounts of sunlight that illuminate the moon as it orbits the Earth. Each phase represents a distinct visual shape, ranging from a thin sliver to a fully illuminated disk.
