Ecco una rottura:
* The moon always has the same shape: È una sfera.
* Sunlight illuminates the moon: Just like the Earth, the moon is illuminated by the sun.
* The moon orbits the Earth: As the moon orbits, the angle at which sunlight hits it changes.
* We see different amounts of the illuminated side: This is what we perceive as the lunar phases, from a sliver of light (new moon) to a full circle (full moon).
Think of it like holding a ball in front of a lamp. As you rotate the ball, different parts of the ball are illuminated.
