Why do we see different moon phases?
We see different moon phases because of the position of the moon relative to the Earth and the Sun, which affects how much of the moon's surface is illuminated from our view.
500
What is the difference between Earth's rotation and revolution?
Earth's rotation is when it spins on its axis, taking about 24 hours to complete one spin, while revolution is when Earth travels around the Sun, taking about 365 days to go around once.
