2. Why does the moon look different from Earth at different times of the month?
Moon phases are cause by 3 things:
The moon’s revolution around the Earth.
The fact that the moon’s orbit path is tilted.
The moon reflecting sunlight towards Earth
We cannot always see the 50% of the moon that is illuminated. Depending on where the moon is on the orbit path we see different portions of the illuminated half.
