What causes the phase of the Moon to change each night?

The alignment between the Earth, Moon, and Sun determines how much of the illuminated half of the moon we see.

The Moon changes its acutal shape throughout the course of the month.

The season of the year determines the phase of the Moon.

The closer the Moon is to Earth, the more light the Moon reflects.

How does the amount of daylight hours change from winter to summer?

In the winter the northern hemisphere is pointed away from the sun so it has shorter days. In the summer it is pointed towards the sun so it has longer days

In the winter the northern hemisphere is pointed towards the sun so it has longer days. In the summer it is pointed away from the sun so it has shorter days

In the winter the northern hemisphere is pointed away from the sun so it has longer days. In the summer it is towards the sun so it has shorter days

Why are there more changes in the seasons at the North pole than the equator?

The equator always gets direct sunlight so there is very little variation while the north pole gets less indirect sunlight and in the winter there is very little daylight

The equator is always closer to the sun so the temperature is always hot.

The moon must be directly between Earth and the Sun.
