Moon Phases

What causes different moon phases?

Moon phases change because when the moon rotates around the sun the sun shines light on certain spots of the moon and that causes the moon phases. The moon at most only reflects 50% light because we only see one half of the moon.

There is a myth and a fact

A common confusion about phases of the moon is that they occur as a result of the earth's shadow being cast upon the surface of the moon by the sun. In fact, it's much less common for the earth's shadow to appear on the moon due to the angle of the earth's tilt, and when this happens, it is known as an eclipse.
