The light doesn't change. Take note that always half of the moon was illuminated by the sun. Therefore the light does not changes but the positon w/c changes the view of the moon seen from the Earth.
the way the sun light hits it during the rotation of the moon
Clouds can change shape and get light from the sun when they pass in front of it, causing shadows to form on the ground.
the sun because the moon doesnt make its own light
The thing that is going on with the 8 phases of the moon is that they change because the amout of sun light that is being reflected of off of the moon reflects on the moon.
The reason is because the moon's light comes from the reflection of light from the sun, so when the moon rotates around the Earth the angle that the sun's light hits the moon changes, so sometimes the moon will reflect less some times more, and sometimes none, like a New Moon.
Moon?
The moon never changes shape only the light you can see.

Because the light from the sun reflects of the moon so when the moon orbits the sun which means you can only see the part of the moon that has light reflecting off it

It doesn't the Earth's shadow covers it more as we rotate.

It doesn't change its shape at all. it stays the same!
The shadow is caused by the earth blocking the path of the light from the sun casting shadow on the moon. When the earth is not in between the sun and the moon then we have a "full moon."
