Have you ever noticed that the Moon seems to change shape in the sky? And that the Sun appears to rise in different places every day? These changes happen because the Moon and the Earth are always in motion. For example, the Moon makes a movement called translation, which is when it goes around the Earth. When the Moon completes a full circle around the Earth, we call it a month. Additionally, the Moon also rotates around its own axis, and this movement is called rotation. On the other hand, the Earth, where we live, is also in motion: it rotates around itself (this is our night and day happening!) and also moves around the Sun, and this movement is called translation. Now, thinking about everything we just learned about the movements of the Moon and the Earth, describe what happens for the Moon to change its apparent shape in the sky and explain why we see different phases of the Moon during a month. Remember to mention the translation and rotation movements of the Moon, and also how the position of the Moon, Earth, and Sun cause these changes that we can observe from Earth.
