Every night, when we go out, we can see the Moon, maybe round, maybe half, or sometimes it is very small and we can’t see, that’s because the Moon has different phases, called Lunar phases, phases is what something looks like, Lunar means the moon in Spanish. Moon is a planet in space, it is near to earth, and when the sunlight reflects on the moon, we can see the moon. Phase in the dictionary means any of the major appearances or aspects in which a thing of varying modes or conditions manifests itself to the eye or mind. And moon phases will be the appearance of the moon, or easily to describe it is the look like of the Moon.
But why will the moon have different phases? Because the Earth is spinning itself and spinning around the sun, and the moon is spinning itself, spinning around Earth and spinning around the sun. We can see the moon because the sunlight reflects on the moon, and the moon gets the light, and the light reflects in our eyes, so we can see that planet. but sometimes, the sunlight doesn’t reflect on all of the moon, the earth keeps out some light, so the Moon we see at night is different from the last two days. But it is in a cycle, Because the way the planet spins is always the same, sometimes it is a little bit different but it's almost the same.
The change of the moon is in a cycle, first is the new moon, it is so small that we can’t see it clearly, then after a few days the moon will be bigger, called the waxing crescent phase, and after some days, you would find out that the moon is changing, and it will be the first quarter, the moon is half, and after the first quarter moon the moon will be nearly round but not quite, and when it is the middle of the month, the moon is full, it is round, it is bright as it is very beautiful. And the moon will be smaller, first waning gibbous, and last quarter moon, and the new moon, and the waxing gibbous ….it will be cycle and cycle.
Each phase of the moon is very beautiful, but my favorite is the First quarter moon Phase. First, I can has an imagination of what the other side is. I can think about stories in China about the moon, like a girl who’s on moon accidentally and wants to see her husband, and I’ll Think the girl is looking at her husband, and there's a small rabbit making medicine. Second, when it is half, it is already bright and beautiful. Maybe the full moon is more beautiful but when it is half, I can take good pictures. Last but not the least, I can expect and guess what the full moon is like and go out to see in the middle of the month.
In conclusion, the moon has different Lunar phases means the different look like of the moon, and it is because the moon and the Earth is changing placing, and the light that reflect on the moon from the sun will change, and the moon we see is different, but it is in a cycle, New moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter, waning crescent, New moon, it's in a cycle it will go again and again, and the different moon phases has their different stages and beauty, My favorite is the First Quarter moon, I think it is beautiful and I can have an imagination and guess on the moon. Which one do you like best?
