Phases (fases)

The different phases of the moon are caused by the angle from which an observer on earth can see the moon illuminated by the sun as it orbits our planet. As the moon makes its way around the earth a person can look up in the sky and see various fractions of its surface reflecting sunlight. While there is always half of the moon that is "lit" by the sun the observer on earth will see the moon pass through its phases one complete time in a span of 29 and a half days. (Las diferentes fases de la luna son causadas por el ángulo desde el cual un observador en la tierra puede ver la luna iluminada por el sol mientras orbita nuestro planeta. A medida que la luna gira alrededor de la tierra, una persona puede mirar hacia el cielo y ver varias fracciones de su superficie reflejando la luz del sol. Si bien siempre hay la mitad de la luna que está "iluminada" por el sol, el observador en la tierra verá la luna pasar por sus fases una vez completa en un lapso de 29 días y medio.)
