Moon Phases animation

View of the Moon's orbit from both overhead and tracking views. Notice how, from above, half of the Moon's surface is *always* lit by the Sun. The phase we see is just determined by how much of that lit half we can see from our viewing angle.

Don’t forget- the moon isn’t in an equatorial orbit. It’s roughly 10° “above” the equator on one side and 10° “lower” on the other.

Thank you so much i just couldn't imagine how it "change phases"... And i needed something just like this! Thank you ❤

SOMETHING IS MISSSING, MAYBE, NEED TO SHOW A THIRD ONE SIMULATION SHOWING ALL MOVEMENTS TOGETHER, 🤔🤔🤔

So whenever there is a new moon there is a solar eclipse??
