Frequently Asked Questions

The Moon makes no light of its own, and sunlight always lights the half that faces the Sun. As the Moon orbits Earth, we see different amounts of that lit half. One full cycle takes about 29.5 days, and students shade all eight phases on the orbit diagram in Moon Phases and the Moon's Orbit.
