Question

Why did the Moon’s appearance change

Answer 1

Answer:

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.

Answer 2

Answer:

1. The appearance and position of the Moon change based on the way the Earth and Moon orbit the Sun and the fact that the Earth spins around once every 24 hours.

2. In fact, though we always see the same side of the Moon, the Moon is spinning.

3. As the Moon orbits our planet, its varying position means that the Sun lights up different regions, creating the illusion that the Moon is changing shape over time.

4. This is because it rotates once on its axis in exactly the same time it takes to orbit Earth – 27 days and seven hours.
