Summary
The moon have to go trough a cicle, call phases of the moon. The moon phases repeats each month. The moon gets its light from the sun. For the moon to go around the earth it takes 28-31 days(1 month). The first phase of the moon is New Moon, this happens when there is no moon. After new moon we have Waxing Crescent, this phase of the moon is when the moon is getting bigger, less than half of the moon is visible and the face moon is on the right side. First Quarter is when half of the moon is visible and it's face is on the right side. Then we have Waxing Gibbous, it happens when more than half of the moon is visible and it's face is always on the right side when is Waxing. Then it goes to Full Moon, when the full moon is completely visible. Next we have Waning Gibbous, is when the moon is getting smaller, more than half of the moon is visible and it's face is always on the left side when is Waning. After that goes Last Quarter, is when half of the moon is visible, and it's face is on the left side. At least we have Waning Crescent, when the moon is getting smaller and the moon face is on the left side. This cycle repeats each month.

Critical Thinking Question
How is earth affected by movement ( revolution )?
Earth is affected by it's own revolution and moon revolution because as the earht revolve over it's axis, and the lunar revolution movement cause the earth to have seasons. The four seasons are fall, winter, summer and spring. The moon, sun and earth have a big effect on the earth movement because of the solstices and equinoxes. The solstices point far away from the earht it can get the shortest day of the year. The equinoxes happens when the sun move up and then it move west, causing equal night and equal day. The equinox and solstice cause the earth to have four different seasons.
