Why Do We See Different Phases of the Moon?

Learn the names and order of the phase of the moon! The Phases of the moon are caused because the moon is always half lit by the sun, and we see the half-lit moon at different angles as it orbits the Earth. Watch the video for more details :)

For teachers, I’ve developed an activity on the phases of the moon with a worksheet, including the names for the moon’s phases and order of the moon’s phases. Your students can use this worksheet to simulate the moon’s phases and learn why we see different phases of the moon.

Being able to act out the moon’s orbit around the Earth and observe what causes the phases will help them in their understanding of the phases of the moon.
