What causes the seasons?

-The seasons are caused by the sun being farther from the certain areas of the earth. For example, it is winter on the side of the earth that is not facing the sun. The side of the earth facing the sun is experiencing summer. The side of the earth heading away from direct sunlight is experiencing fall, and the side of the earth heading toward direct sunlight is experiencing spring.


What causes the the phases of the moon?

- Moon phases are caused when the moon orbits the earth. You see a full moon when it is directly in front of earth, and you don't see the moon when it is directly in front of the sun.
