Many people have the misconception that the phases of the Moon are caused by the earth's shadow across the Moon. This is not true. When the shadow of Earth moves across the Moon, we call it a lunar eclipse. When the Moon moves between Earth and the Sun, it casts a small shadow on Earth, and people inside that shadow see a solar eclipse. Both these events are rare, happening only about every 6 months. Moon phases are the result of the Moon's own shadow -- like Earth, only one half of the body is lit at a time. Sometimes the lit side is pointed toward Earth, and we see the reflected light. Sometimes the shadow or night side is pointed toward Earth, and we only see a crescent Moon.
Lunar eclipses can occur only when the full moon occurs near the two nodes of the orbit, either the ascending or descending node. This causes eclipses to only occur about every 6 months, and often 2 weeks before or after a solar eclipse at new moon at the opposite node. The time interval between similar lunar phasesâthe synodic monthâaverages about 29.53 days.
