The moon goes through phases due to its orbit around Earth and the relative positions of the Earth, moon, and sun. As the moon travels in its elliptical orbit, different portions of its illuminated side become visible from Earth, creating the various phases: new moon, crescent, first quarter, gibbous, and full moon. This cycle takes approximately 29.5 days to complete, resulting in the monthly lunar phases we observe.
