Waxing & Waning MOON PHASES NOTES
Why does the moon change shape during the month? Different shapes of moon are called phases. Shape depends on the moon’s position in relation to the sun and Earth. half of the moon is always lit by the sun, but as the moon revolves around the Earth, we see different parts of the lit half of the moon.
