Is the earths orbit around the sun a cause of the phases of the moon?
No. The moon's orbit around the earth is.
The cause of the phases of the moon is a cycle that is close to what?
The cause of the phases of the Moon is closely related to our calendar month. (moon-th). The phases of the Moon are related to the Moon's orbit of Earth.
What is the cause of the phases of the moon is a cycle that is close to?

What motion causes the Moon's phases?
the orbit cause it.
Is the moon kept in orbit by gravity or lunar phases?
Gravity.
What can be seen from earth's orbit other than the moon?
The moon's phases can be seen from the earth, but not by an observer on the moon. Similarly, the earth's phases can be seen from the moon, but not by an observer on the earth.
Does the moon change shape in a full orbit?
No - the moon itself stays the same shape. The phases of the moon change as the earth and moon orbit round the sun. The phases are simply the amount of sunlight reflected in relation to the position of the earth's shadow cast on the moon
What dtermines the phases of the moon?
Moon phases are determined by the moon position in Earth's orbit, which in turn reveals more (or less) of it's illuminated side from our perspective.
Are the phases of the moon caused by the Moon's orbit around the earth?
Yes - actually it is caused by the varying angle between Sun, Earth, and Moon; and that depends mainly on the Moon's orbit.
What effect does the Moon's and earth's orbit have on the moon phases and the way we see them?
The effect of the moon is werewolfs come out and howl
What does the moon phases look like?
Moon phases are the phases the moon goes through on its orbit of the Earth. They range from a white circle to a thin sliver of light like crescent they are nacture giantsRead more: What_does_moon_phases_look_like
The different phases of the moon are caused by?
Actually it is not the rotation of the earth but the orbit of the moon around the earth that causes the phases of the moon. The moon's relationship in it's orbit with regard to the sun is what causes the phases to change. When the moon is between the earth and the sun, it is in a "new moon" phase because the only side of the moon that is lit with sunshine is the far side or the unseen side of the moon. When the earth is between the sun and the moon, the moon is at "full moon" phase. In between these two extremes gives us the 1st quarter and the 3rd quarter phases.
