THE LUNAR PHASES ARE FORMS OF THE

 WHAT ARE THE MOON PHASES
FOR?
Moon phases occur as a consequence of changing the relative positions
of the Earth, Moon and Sun. The percentage of the lunar surface
illuminated by the Sun that we can see from Earth changes throughout a
cycle that repeats periodically every 29 days, 12 hours, 43 minutes and
12 seconds.
