What effect does the moon have on earth? and Why does the moon change shape? in simple words in my own words
Answers
Answer:
As the Moon travels around the Earth, it reflects sunlight. From Earth, we can only see the part of the Moon that is facing us. The shape of the Moon we see on any given night depends on how much of the Moon's face is in sunlight at that point in its cycle. The shapes of the Moon are called phases.

The moon's gravity pulls at the Earth, causing predictable rises and falls in sea levels known as tides. To a much smaller extent, tides also occur in lakes, the atmosphere, and within Earth's crust. High tides are when water bulges upward, and low tides are when water drops down.
The Moon appears to change shape because we see different amounts of the lit part as the Moon orbits Earth. When the Moon is between Earth and the Sun, the lit side is hidden from us. As it moves around Earth, more and more of the lit side comes into view. Then it begins to disappear again
