Science Misconceptions

What are the reasons for the seasons?
The Earth has different seasons because it sits at a tilt that causes the sun to be strongest at different locations  at different points in Earth's rotation around the sun. The Earth's angle from the sun changes causing different seasons.
What causes the phases of the moon?
The 8 phases of the moon are caused by the relationship between the moon and the sun. The moon tells us time and lets us predict what phase of the moon we will see at what time.
