The Lunar Phase
Moon phases represent the changing shape of the illuminated portion of the Moon as it orbits Earth every 29.5 days. Caused by the changing angles of the Earth, Moon, and Sun, the Moon does not produce its own light but reflects sunlight. The cycle progresses from new (invisible) to full (fully lit) and back to new over eight distinct, named phases.
