my+moon

The moon travels west to east, the rotation of the earth makes it appear it is traveling east to west.
Phases of the moon 3 days 3 days 3 days 4 days 4 days 4 days 4 days 3 days

The cause of the phases, is the moon controls the tides, the sun provides light and heat, and the earth houses us and these are the causes of the earth, sun, and moon. The cases of the phases of the moon are when it is a full moon the tides are going to be high tides, and if it is a new moon there's going to be no tide. The new moon and the waxing phase of the moon are three days apart. Two new moons in one month is called a blue moon. "Waxing" means "to grow" and "new" means "its started over." The full moon means there is going to be a high tide so you can "take your boat out on the ocean." The waning phase of the moon means that the moon is "shrinking." It takes the moon a total of 29 days to get through one moon. These 29 days give the moon enough time to go through 8 phases. Which are "new moon" "waxing Crescent" "first quarter" "waxing gibbous" "full moon" waning gibbous" "last quarter" and then the "waning crescent." Without the moon we would have nothing to control our tides and the moons also goes through eight amazing phases and if you get the chance to see all of them in order i think it would be pretty cool.
