# data[].attributes.body
1. you cannot see a new moon at all you might see a little bit though
2. new moon is in alignment with the sun and earth

# data[].attributes.body
1. the light is on the right side
2. it is the 2nd phase

# data[].attributes.body
1. half of the moon is lit
2. it is the 3rd phase

# data[].attributes.body
1. it is three fourths full
2. it is not completely full and not halfway full so they call it gibbous

# data[].attributes.body
1. most commonly known moon
2. you can see the whole shining moon in the sky

# data[].attributes.body
1. it is a crescent again
2. it is the 8th phase

# data[].attributes.body
1. it is not completely full and not halfway full so they call it gibbous
2. it is the 6th phase

# data[].attributes.headline
Earths orbit around the sun and the moons orbit around earth

# data[].attributes.subject
Earths orbit around the sun and the moons orbit around earth

# data[].attributes.body
the moon orbits around earth because of the gravity pull and earth orbits around the sun for the same reason but that doesn't cause the phases, the phases are caused by that and another reason, the amount of sunlight the part of the moon we see causes that part of the moon to shine or be lit up so we can see the part that's being lit up by the sun

# data[].attributes.body
1. the left side of the moon is lit now
2. it's the 7th phase

# data[].attributes.body
1. the 1st quarter phase has the right side of it lit
2. the 3rd quarter has the left side lit
3. when a new moon occurs you cant see the moon at all it is in alignment with the earth and sun

# data[].attributes.body
there are many moon phases
the most known moon phase is the full moon you see it when the whole side (of the part we see) is lit

# data[].attributes.body
The moon is very important it rises when its night and it falls when the sun is rising it keeps its place in earths orbit by the gravity pull of earth

# data[].attributes.body
there are 8 phases of the moon
New Moon
Waxing crescent
1st quarter
waxing gibbous
full moon
waning gibbous
3rd quarter
waning cresent
then it repeats the process over and over again and its called the moon cycle or moon phases
