    The document discusses several questions about the moon including its location, orbit, size compared to Earth and the sun, whether it produces its own light, the cause of its phases, and the meanings of waxing and waning in reference to moon phases. Specifically, the moon orbits Earth rather than the sun, causing its appearance to change in phases over 29.5 days as the portion of its surface illuminated by the sun varies. There are 8 main phases as the moon waxes from new to full and then wanes from full back to new.
