How does the moon shape changes everyday?

Because your perspective of it changes, as the Earth rotates.

Yes - the moon is far away, and the earth spins around it's own axis, creating day and night time. The moon would move a little 1/56 of phase shift during the half day it would take for the other half of earth to see the moon, but it's not noticeable.

Depends on atmospheric conditions ,small water droplets form into ice crystals in the upper atmosphere. The moon reflects light into these droplets causing refraction of that light, givind a halo effect sometimes even a 'luna rainbow'

Yes, the moon spins (or rotates) once for each revolution (orbit).  This happens because the moon is "tidally locked" to the earth.  \n\nThe moon exerts tidal forces on the earth because it pulls harder on the part of the earth closer to the moon and less hard on the part of the earth father from the moon.  The result is tides--the ocean bulges up on the side close to the moon because of the harder pull and actually bulges up away from the moon on the far side because of the weaker pull.\n\nThe earth also exerts tidal fores on the moon.  The moon has no oceans (and never did), but the solid rock of the moon bulged.  The moon used to spin much faster, but bulging and rotating causes friction, which slowed the moon's rotation until it keeps one face toward the earth.  Thus, the bulge is fixed in one place on the moon and no more friction!

the moon doesnt circle the sun the moon circles the earth the earth circles the sun

As the Moon moves along its orbit around the Earth its hemisphere toward the sun is fully illuminated.\n\nBut from the Earth we see only the hemisphere that is turned toward us.\n\nThat is, we are not seeing that hemisphere which is fully illuminated by the Sun.\n\nThat is why we see different shapes which are called phases of the moon.\n\nIn new moon day, the moon is in between Sun and Earth, and the moon’s non illuminated hemisphere is toward Earth and in the back ground of Sun’s bright light, the moon is invisible.\n\nWhen Moon is at 90 degree from the Sun, half of the illuminated hemisphere of Moon is visible from Earth. \n \nWhen Moon is at 180 degree from the Sun, full of the illuminated hemisphere of Moon is visible from Earth. We call it as Full Moon.

Yes, the Moon does rotate around it's own axis.\n\nHowever, the reason we always see the same side of it is the fact that the Moon rotates about as fast as it makes one full lap around the Earth.  It takes about 27 days.  So, the Moon doesn't rotate as fast as Earth does(27 days compared to one day).

Ah, well, first of all, the moon hits hydrogen atoms in space, and thus slows down from its orbit aound the sun, and thus slowly moves off from its current orbit, and since the sun's Fg is larger than the Earth's, we can say bug off to Earth's Fg on the moon. \n\nOn the other hand, the slight changes in the moon's orbit around the sun does have some changes, like a slightly lower high tide. Still, it does not compare to 300 years of industrial revolution damage the humans has done.

The tidal forces between the Earth and the Moon slowed the Moon's rotation until it became locked with its orbit around the Earth. The Moon therefore always keeps the same side of its surface facing the Earth. As the Moon orbits the Earth, the entire half facing the sun is illuminated, but the amount of this lighted half that we can see changes. Thus the Moon seems to change shape or phase. The far side of the Moon is lighted part of the time and dark part of the time as well; hence it is incorrect to refer to it as the "dark side of the Moon" (sorry, Pink Floyd).\n\nFor a picture of what the far side of the moon looks like check\nhttp://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/image/9810/farside_apollo16.jpg&imgrefurl=http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap981008.html&h=432&w=421&sz=41&hl=en&sig2=9NUu37Lghow0vp6Kt4utAw&start=3&tbnid=zr8LzmzCjXAnwM:&tbnh=126&tbnw=123&ei=y7hmRb_rDbXmwQGpmMHlAQ&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dfar%2Bside%2Bof%2Bthe%2Bmoon%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26sa%3DG

It turns one revolution for every orbit it makes.  This happens because of tidal locking.  Basically that means the part of the moon closest to the earth gets pulled slightly more then the further side.  This means a slight bulge forms on the moon facing earth.  This side has more mass then other part of the moon thus is "heavier."  The earth's gravity then pulls on the buldge more then the rest of the moon making the moon slowly slow down or speed up in its rotation until the bulge always points towards the earth, thus one side always faces us.

yes, we see the dark side of the moon every new moon.  the dark side of the moon is just the night side, the side on which the sun is not shinning.  the far side of the moon is the side which is permanently turned away from us because the moon spins with about the same period as it orbits the earth, but the moons orbital speed does change a little because its orbit is not a circle but an ellipse.  the moon orbits faster when it is closer and slower when it is farther away.  this means we get to peek at a little of the far side every month.

The theories presented so far have been pretty much debunked. The following link gives an elaborate explanation of this illusion. But even it fails to explain why we don't see this illusion every time the moon rises. It does not always appear larger at moonrise than when it is higher in the sky. Also, the moon may appear to be different sizes on different nights even in the same location. I'm still looking for a plausable explanation. \n\nhttp://facstaff.uww.edu/mccreadd/

1.  Longer shadows\n2.  The moon's gravitational pull and the sun's gravity also\n3.  The sun\n4.  counterclockwise, west, east\n5.  D\n6.  The Earth's Rotation\n7.  The earth is at a slant compared to it's solar revolution, so the earth recieves more sunlight in different areas, and the earth's solar revolution isn't a perfect circle, AND the earth wobbles\n8.  The sun's reflection causes the moon to light up, and so the sun's position determin's the shape.\n9.  the earth and the sun and the moon have to line up in a linear fashion, perfectly, not just good enough for a full moon

The moon has a 28-day orbit around the earth so naturally there is a part of that cycle when it will be on the same side of the earth as the sun. Note though that you cannot have a full moon in the sky during the day since a full moon means that the earth, sun and moon all line up. You can have a new moon in the sky during the day since the moon is then between us and the sun and all we see is the dark side.

The moon moves from South to North and back again throughout the year.  This is how the ancients kept track of it usually, especially of the solstices and equinoxes.  This motion is accurate and how they can predict future eclipses.\n\nhttp://www.aaa.org/aaahighlowmoon.htm
