The moon changes phases as it orbits the Earth. The phase is due to the varying shadow that the Earth casts on the surface of the moon. When the Earth completely blocks the Sun, it is a new moon.

The moon orbits the earth in just a little under 28 days. The earth is blocking sunlight from reaching the moon at certain angles which cause the phases of the moon. Everyone sees the same phases because of this.

The simplest way to put it: Moon phases are simply the passing of the lunar daytime and night across the moon's surface over the course of one month. One entire lunar day is equal to one full set of phases. [Note: the earth's shadow has absolutely nothing to do with the moon's phases.]

What is the summery for the story moon phases?
gbfrveufbrg A good summary of the story "Moon Phases", (if I am talking about the same book as you are) is that there are many different phases of the moon. There is a crescent moon, full moon, half moon, and much more! (name all if necessary). The moon changes over time. The moon is always there in the day time, however, in the night it shines, so it's clearer to see, and more visible. :)
