sun is daytime and
the side not facing
the sun is

X is the north pole
On average, Day and night lasts 12 hours
to 14 hours and night about 10 hours.

How long do you think it takes forthe moon to make 1 completerevolution around the earth?
How long do you think it takes forthe moon to make 1 completerevolution around the earth?
About 28 days
This is due to the Moon's revolution or orbit
around the Earth
Why do you think the moon has phases (changes shape every night)?
Why do you think the moon has phases (changes shape every day)?
Because the moon revolves or orbits
around the Earth and reflects the sunlight.
