Phases of The Moon

What did you notice about the phases of the moon?
When the moon travels around the Earth than there will be a different shade on the moon so you will only be able to see the side where there is no shade. This is why there are different phases of the moon.


 Why do we see different parts of the moon night?
Everyday the moon moves a bit and the sun always stays at the same place. So the shade and light on the moon changes each day. That's why you see each night different parts of the moon.


What is a lunar month?
A lunar month is a the period from one full moon to the next full moon to the next.
