Another word for stages of the moon?
The stages of the Moon, are referred to as the 'Phases of the Moon'.
What is increasing in size in moon phases?
The term "waxing" refers to the phases of the moon when it is increasing in size, specifically from the New Moon to the Full Moon. During this period, more of the moon's surface becomes illuminated as viewed from Earth. The waxing phases include the Waxing Crescent and Waxing Gibbous. This increase in visible illumination occurs due to the changing positions of the Earth, moon, and sun.
How are moon phases made?
A solar eclipse is formed on a new moon day, when Sun , Moon and Earth come in a stragiht line. The eclipse occurs on the earth where shadow of moon falls on our lovely planet, Earth.
What is it called changing appearance of the moon as seen from earth?
The changing appearance of the Moon as seen from Earth is called the lunar phases. This phenomenon occurs due to the Moon's orbit around Earth, which causes different portions of its illuminated side to be visible from our planet. The main phases include the New Moon, First Quarter, Full Moon, and Last Quarter. These phases cycle approximately every 29.5 days.

How blue moon occurs?

How does the interactions of the moon earth and sun cause phases and eclipses?
The phases of the Moon result from its position relative to the Earth and the Sun, as varying amounts of the Moon's surface are illuminated by sunlight. When the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun, we experience a new moon, while a full moon occurs when the Earth is between the Moon and the Sun. Eclipses happen when the Sun, Earth, and Moon align; a solar eclipse occurs during a new moon when the Moon blocks the Sun's light, and a lunar eclipse occurs during a full moon when the Earth casts its shadow on the Moon. These celestial interactions create the beautiful cycles of lunar phases and the dramatic events of eclipses.

Why do you see different phases of the moon if the same side is always facing the earth?
The phases of the moon are the result of the ever-changing positions of the Earth, moon, and sun relative to one another. When the moon and the sun are on opposite sides of the earth (whereby the sun, earth, and moon form a straight line), a full moon occurs. When the moon and sun are on the same side of the earth (whereby the sun,moon, and earth form a straight line), a new moon occurs.
What phrase occurs between the first quarter and full moon?
The "gibbous" moon phases occur when the Moon is more than half illuminated, but less than full.
