Summary
The phases of the moon are caused by the relative positions of the earth, sun, and moon. The moon goes around the earth in 27.3 days. As the moon makes its way around the Earth, we see the bright parts of the moon's surface at different angles. These are called phases of the moon. It takes one month (27 days) for the moon to go once around the Earth by revolution. The sun always lights up the half of the moon facing the sun. There are 8 moon fazes. When the moon is between the earth and the sun, it appears dark, a new moon. In between, the moon's lights up surface appears to grow waxing to full, then decreases waning to the next new moon.

How is earth affected by movement( revolution)?
The Earth affected by revolution, the Earth move around to the sun, and the seasons are explained by the tilt of the Earth's axis, when it is summer in the northern hemisphere, the north pole is pointed in the direction of the sun. season's are caused by earth's revolution around the sun and the tilt of it's axis (23.5 degrees).
