I’m glad you asked! I can explain that: The moon takes about a month to go through one cycle of phases, though it will not be quite a full cycle. For example, the phases of the moon happen in this order: new moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter, waning crescent, new moon. Does that answer your question?

Yes, thanks! Why does the moon go through phases?
