the moon takes about one month to revolve around the earth. As, it revolves it also rotates slowly. it takes the moon about one month to rotate at the same speed , the same side of moon always faces us .

as , we all know that the moon does not give out its own light . it only reflects the light of sun to us . therefore, depending on the position of sun , different areas reflect light to us on different days and moon appears to change its shape every day. THOSE SHAPES OF MOON ARE KNOWN AS PHASES.

there are total 8 phases of moon .

Crescent moon,first quarter moon , waxing gibbous moon, full moon, waning gibbous moon, last quarter moon,waning crescent moon
