Would you like to see more of her paintings?

Phases of the Moon




Remember:
- When the moon is shaped like a "D", it is getting bigger! (this is called "waxing")
- When the moon is shaped like a "C", it is getting smaller! (this is called "waning")
- When you can't see the moon, it is called a "new moon".
- When you can see ALL the moon, it is called a "full moon".

When the moon is full, the sun is shining on the near side (the side closest to us).
When the moon is new (and we can't see it), the sun is shining on the far side.
