Need help! 1. How is the Moon cycle an example of the sun, moon and earth interacting?

2. Why does the moon appear completely dark once a month?

The moon orbits the earth because of the pull of the earth and so does the earth orbits the sun because of its pull. Because of the way they move relative to each other, we see phases of the moon and eclipses.

The moon appear completely dark once a month because at that time of the month, the moon passes through the same part of the sky, with it's dark or unilluminated side faces Earth.

well I did some research bout this s hope it helps

it takes about 30 days for it to break down
