What are the different phases of the Moon?
- The Moon has different shapes when we see it from Earth.
- These shapes change each night, and they are called phases of the Moon.
- There are eight main phases, and they go from a small sliver to a full circle and back again.
Examples:
- The New Moon is when it looks dark because we can't see it.
- The Full Moon is when it looks like a big bright circle in the sky.
- The First Quarter Moon looks like half a circle, like a slice of pizza!
Fun Fact: Each phase takes about 29.5 days to complete, so we can see the Moon change every night!
