The moon requires about 29.5 days to surround the earth and complete one month phase cycle.
The month phase consists of eight different phases, namely new moon, old sickle, quarter, young sickle, full moon, young sickle, quarter, and old sickle.
The moon phase is influenced by the position of the earth, moon, and sun in relation to each other.
The moon phase can affect tidal waves at sea and can also affect agriculture.
The moon looks bigger when low in the sky due to optical illusion.
Most cultures around the world have myths and legends related to the moon phase.
The moon can emit bright rays to make human shadows.
When a lunar eclipse occurs, the moon moves through the shadow of the earth and becomes red or dark orange.
The month phase can be used as a guide for outdoor activities, such as fishing or hunting.
NASA has sent several missions to the moon to learn more about the origin and nature of the moon.
