If you have noticed the shape of the moon keeps changing every day. From a full moon to the extent that there is no moon once a month. This is known as the phases of the moon. In total there are 12 phases of the moon. The shape of the moon changes in our skies as per the sunlit portion of the moon as viewed from earth.
