As the Moon orbits around Earth and Earth orbits around the Sun, the angle between the Sun, Moon, and Earth changes. As a result, the amount of sunlight that reflects off the Moon and travels to our eyes changes every day. This span of time is called a lunar cycle. Astronomers have broken down this cycle into four primary and four secondary Moon phases.
