Explain the phases of the Moon.

Class: Class 8 Subject: Space Science Topic: space

The phases of the Moon occur due to its revolution around Earth. As sunlight falls on different parts of the Moon, we see varying shapes:

  • New Moon (completely dark),
  • Crescent,
  • First Quarter,
  • Gibbous,
  • Full Moon.
    The cycle takes about 29.5 days (a lunar month). This happens because the Moon reflects sunlight and the visible portion changes as it orbits Earth.
