What causes the seasons?
The seasons are caused by the Earth's axis being tilted. As Earth orbits the sun, its tilted axis always points in the same
direction. So, throughout the year, different parts of Earth get more of the
sun’s direct rays.
What causes the phases of the moon?
My guess is that the phases of the moon are caused by its positioning behind the earth and the shadow that gets cast on to it. I do not know for sure, because it has been a long time since I had studied the moon.
