Why does the Moon change shape every night?
How ClarifyBro explains it, scene by scene:
- 1The Moon makes no light
It only reflects sunlight. Half of the Moon is always lit by the Sun.
- 2The Moon goes around the Earth
One trip takes about 29.5 days, so our view of the lit half keeps changing.
- 3New Moon
The lit half faces away from us, so we see almost nothing.
- 4Crescent, half, gibbous
As the Moon moves, we see more of the lit half each night.
- 5Full Moon
The whole lit half faces us. Then it shrinks again until the next New Moon.
Answer The Moon does not change. We see different amounts of its sunlit half as it orbits the Earth.
