Moons vary widely in size, composition, and geological activity across the solar system. Some, like Earth's Moon, are rocky and heavily cratered, while others, such as Jupiter's Europa, are icy and may harbor subsurface oceans. Additionally, moons can be categorized into those that are large enough to be spherical (like Ganymede) and smaller, irregularly shaped ones (like Mars' Phobos). The diversity of moons reflects the complex formation processes and environmental conditions present in different planetary systems.

Why does the moons appearance look different during these times?

It's because of the orbits. If you mean the size, the Moon NEVER changes in size or orbit distance that much. It's because your brain is fooling you and you compare the moons' size to other objects in the sky such as clouds and / or buildings.
