A “phase” of a moon is the looks of the moon, like when the moon is round and when the moon is like a little boat. The moon has a ton of phases and they are all different. If you like to look at the moon you will notice that the moon changes every day time by time, it will grow bigger and it will also grow smaller when it is already round. The phases of the moon can also be “invisible”, the shadow almost covering all the moon and that is why sometimes you can barely see the moon. There really are a lot of phases of the moon.
The moon appears to be a lot of different sizes and shapes because the shape depends on the shadow of earth.the moon goes around the earth and that is why the shadow of earth is more or less on the moon. when the shadow of earth reflects on the moon a lot, the moon will go smaller and if the shadow of earth only has a little bit that reflects on the moon then the moon will grow larger, it is always the opposite. This is also why you see the moon change every day, from invisible to very round and from very round to invisible. The moon can really change sizes just by the shadow of earth.
There are a lot of phases of the moon. There are eight types of phases of moons: the new moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter and waning crescent. The new moon is the moon that you can’t see; the waxing crescent is the phase when you can see a little bit of moon on the right side; the first quarter is when you can see half of the moon on the right side; the waxing gibbous is the phase that has only a little bit left till it is full moon and then it is the full moon, the rest is just the opposite. There are a lot of phases of the moon in the world.
My favorite moon phase is the waxing gibbous. First of all, I like it because it is very close to the full moon but it is not there yet, it will be soon but to now. Secondly, it is like a balloon and it makes me think about birthday parties and colorful balloons that are in the big room. The balloons are always round but they were never perfectly round like a plate. Last but not least, even though it isn’t as bright as the full moon, it is still very bright and it still brings us the beautiful natural night light, and gives us brightness in the dark night. Waxing gibbous is the best moon phase in the world.
Moon phases are the different looks of the moon and there are eight of them, there is the new moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter and waning crescent. Out of all of those, my favorit is waxing gibbous because it has a lot of good things about it. There is really too much things to talk about the moon phases, moon phases are a lot of knowledge for people and I am shore that we didn’t descover all yet.
