The moon appears to change shape throughout the month due to its phases, which result from its position relative to the Earth and the Sun. As the moon orbits the Earth, different portions of its surface are illuminated by sunlight, creating varying visible shapes, known as phases. These phases progress from new moon to full moon and back, reflecting the moon's changing position in its orbit.
