Why does the moon change its shape daily?
Answer :
Moon is visible to us because of the light produced by the Sun. As the moon revolves around the Earth, only a portion of moon is illuminated by the Sun, consequently only the illuminated portion of the moon is visible. Therefore, it seems like the shape of the moon changes every day.
