Well, when you get to high school or middle school ( depending on where you go to school) you find out that there are different phases of the moon ranging from full to first quarter, new moon and third quarter. These just represent the amount of the moon that you observe. The reason the moon changes on a nightly basis is that basically, that is the amount of the moon that we can see from our position on earth. The earth is in constant rotation and revolution on its axis. Also, the amount of moon observed depends on how much of the sun is reflected on the moon from where we see it on earth.
