First of all moon phases exist because the sun is on the other side of the earth when its night time, and the moon shines because it's reflecting the sun. And at different times the moon is in a different place in relation to the sun so we can only see part of it.
Also sometimes we can see the full moon slightly illuminated along with the current phase, and that's called earthshine. This is caused because the earth gives off light as well as the sun, so the light that the earth is giving of is reflecting off the moon. Earthshine isn't as bright as when the sun is reflecting off the moon because the sun is a lot brighter.

What caused tension between America and the Soviet Union after World War II

Zepler [3.9K]

The main difference between both nations was their political views. America was and is a capitalist country and as we know has many freedoms. The Soviet Union on the other hand was a Communist country that gave no rights to its citizens. The United States wasn't happy with that. Also, after WWll, the U.S. provided aid to war torn European countries with the Marshall Plan but the Soviet Union hated this because they wanted to take over those countries.
