Understanding the Phases of the Moon

The video tutorial explains the lunar phases, starting with the new moon, where the moon is not visible due to its position between the Earth and the Sun. As the moon moves, it goes through phases: waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, and full moon. Each phase is characterized by the amount of the moon's surface that is illuminated. The tutorial also includes a review section with questions to reinforce learning.
