Lunar Cycle
The Moon goes through a repeating cycle that takes about 29.5 days. This cycle is caused by the changing angles of the Sun, Earth, and Moon. As the Moon orbits Earth, different portions of its sunlit side become visible to us.
It begins with the new moon, when the Moon lies between Earth and the Sun and appears dark. Over the next days it grows into a crescent, then a half moon, and eventually a full moon when Earth is between the Sun and the Moon. After that, the bright portion starts shrinking again.
This cycle has helped humans track time for thousands of years. Many calendars, festivals, and farming activities are still linked to lunar phases. Even today, the lunar cycle influences tides, wildlife behavior, and cultural traditions all around the world.
