Question

why do we see the phases of the moon​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The Moon itself does not generate light; it is lit up by the Sun. As the Moon orbits the Earth, the portion of illuminated Moon that we see changes – giving rise to the phases of the Moon. ... Sometimes the Earth, Moon and Sun are aligned such that the Earth is directly between the Sun and the Moon.

Answer 2

Answer:

The phases change as the moon revolves around Earth, different portions of the moon's sunlit surface are visible from Earth.

Thus, from the perspective of Earth, the appearance of the moon changes from night to night.
