Why Does the Moon Change Shape?
Exactly one half of the moon is normally lit by the sun.
As the moon orbits Earth we see different amounts of the half that is lit by the sun.
The different shapes we see are called the moon’s phases.
The length of time it takes the moon to make one full revolution around the Earth is called a lunar cycle.(29.5 days)

Waxing Phases Waxing – When the shape that we
see gets larger. The moon is growing brighter with light. The light is on the right.
