The Moon doesn't emit (give off) light itself, the 'moonlight' we see is actually the Sun's light reflected off the lunar surface. So, as the Moon orbits the Earth, the Sun lights up different parts of it, making it seem as if the Moon is changing shape.

Try this activity in home you will understand.
Find a flashlight and a tennis ball (or any hand-sized ball).
Go to an extremely dark room, like maybe a bathroom with no windows, and turn off all lights.Place the flashlight on the counter, and turn it on, facing sort of towards you.
Now hold the tennis ball at arm’s length, at 90 degrees to where the flashlight is.
Can you see the whole tennis ball? Which part of the tennis ball is lit up?Turn yourself around slowly, continuing to hold the ball at arms length.
Can you see more of the ball lit up in some places, and less in others?
hope it helps you
