During the lunar month, the Moon goes through all its phases. You can see the phases drawn in the image below. Just like the Earth, half of the Moon is lit by the Sun while the other half is in darkness. The phases we see result from the angle the Moon makes with the Sun as viewed from Earth.
hope this helps :)
Moon is the natural satellite of the Earth, which rotates and revolves around the Earth. The moon reflects the sunlight, which makes it visible to the Earth.
The different phases of the moon are seen due to the revolution of the moon around the earth. It can be explained as:
1. The moon does not have its own light, such that it reflects the sun's light.
2. When the moon revolves around the Earth, it can reflect some portion of the light. The different portions of the illuminated moon result in different phases.
3. The phases of the moon are crescent, gibbous, full moon, waning, and waxing moon.
Thus, the moon when orbits around the Earth and gets reflected at some portions will give rise to different phases.
