What causes the phases of the moon?

• Half of the moon is made out of black rocks, and it takes the moon one month to spin completely around.

• The rocks on the moon collect sunlight and then glow for a short time. Parts appear black if they did not get enough light.

• The moon only reflects light, and as the moon orbits, different amount of the moon's day side are visible.

• Earth has 8 different moons but we can only see one of them at a time
