Phases of the Moon

Did you know that the Moon doesn’t produce any light of its own? Just like daytime here on Earth, sunlight illuminates the Moon. As the Moon orbits around Earth, and Earth orbits around the Sun, the angle between the Sun, Moon, and Earth changes. As a result, the amount of sunlight that reflects off the Moon that we can see changes every day. In this collection, you will learn about the moon phases, as well as a lunar and solar eclipse!
