WHY DOES THE MOON LOOK DIFFERENT EVERY NIGHT?

WHY DOES THE MOON LOOK DIFFERENT EVERY NIGHT?

Let me tell you about the Moon, the grey asteroid, and about all of its phases that make it look different every night. In many ways it will look like a banana or half of a circle and that is why you should read this whole explanation as to why this happens

While the moon orbits the earth, we either see more or less of each side of the Moon. We see more or less of each side because the Moon goes into a shadow and the sun shines some of the moon so we can see some of its appearance. Some people believe that the Moon's shadow is caused from the earth's shadow but it’s actually the sun shining it’s light on one side because the Moon keeps on rotating. However, each phase is caused by the sun's reflection on the Moon and because the Moon keeps on spinning on it’s axis.

A new Moon is a moon is the Moon in a shadow and if it’s a new moon for the southern hemisphere it might be a full moon for the northern hemisphere. The waxing crescent is the one after the new moon and you can see only a bit like 1/12 but that's my guess so that might not be real. The first quarter is the one that goes after the waxing crescent and the first quarter looks like half of the the moon but it is not because you can only see a quarter of the moon and because the other side is the other quarter. Waxing gibbous is like first quarter but it is a bit bigger and you will see that it is nearly full. A full moon is the whole moon that is covered in grey. Then the other side like instead of calling it waxing it is called waning all of it is the same just on the other side.

Did you know that the moon is not changing shape it is just the shadow covering the other side. Now you know information about the moon you should try and make your own one.
