Phasas Of the moon

Some important questions that Should be able to be answered from the simulation are:
What did you notice about the phases of the moon? Why do we see different parts of the moon each night? What is a lunar month?

I noticed that the angle that the sun is reflecting at and the way the moon is placed creates different shadows of the moon, this is how we have different "types of moons."
The reason that we see different types of moons every night is because the moon is rotated in a different angle, and the moon is still the same the only difference is the shade.
A lunar month is the time that it takes from one new moon to the next, usually 29,5 days
