Observe the different phases of the Moon. Click on the Moon to know why you are able to see it.</p> <p>Just like the Earth, the Moon has one lighted side and one shadowy side. According to its position, it doesn't look the same when it is seen from the Earth.</p> <p>It is the light which comes from the Sun</p> <p>The Moon absorbs part of the light it receives from the Sun and reflects the rest into space. That's why you can see it from the Earth !</p> <p>The photons are small particles of light.</p> <p>The miroir reflects all the light it receives : you can even see yourself in it </p>
