Question
Why do we see phases of the Moon?
✓
Answer
The moon orbits the Earth in 27 days and 8 hours and also spins on it axis. As a result, the same side of the moon faces the Earth. However the size changes every night-a circular or Full Moon is called the Full Moon then it decreases in size for the next 15 days, then it disappears. Then the size starts increasing till it becomes the full moon. These are the phases of the moon.
