The Moon only seems to "change shape". We only see one side of the Moon from Earth. The variation in the amount of sunlight hitting that side of the Moon, as it orbits Earth, is why we see the apparent changes in shape. These changes are called "lunar phases".
The waxing and waning of the moon, or "moon phases".
Those are the different shapes of the lit portion of the Moon that can be seen from Earth
because of the sun the moon changes shapes.
The changing shapes of the moon, known as its phases, are due to its position relative to the sun and Earth. As the moon orbits Earth, the amount of sunlight that reflects off its surface changes, creating the appearance of different shapes or phases from our perspective on Earth.
A moon can have infinite shapes depending on its phase, orientation, and optical illusions. The most commonly observed shapes are full moon, half moon, crescent moon, and gibbous moon.
These shapes of the moon are called Phases
there are different shapes of the moon because its when the sun reflects on it on a way that's why the moon changes shape
The shape of the moon appears to change because of its position relative to the Earth and the angle at which sunlight hits its surface. As the moon orbits Earth, the amount of sunlight falling on it changes, causing different parts to be illuminated and creating the phases of the moon that we observe from Earth.
The phases of the moon.
The different shapes of the moon: Waxing cresent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbbous, Full Moon, Third Quarter, and Waxing Cresent. There are 7 different shapes of the moon, that you might sometimes see at night!

It's because the angle between the moon, Sun and Earth change, so we see a different portion of the lit side of the moon every night.
