Phases of the Moon: Astronomy and Space for Kids - FreeSchool

The moon changes its shape almost every night. But why? The phases of the moon are caused by the light from the sun and the moon's orbit around the Earth. From new moon through waxing crescent, quarter, gibbous, full moon, and waning back to new moon again, come learn about the cycle of shapes the moon takes (or rather, appears to take) as it travels around our planet.
