Answer:

New Moon,waxing crescent Moon, first quarter Moon, waxing gibbous Moon, full Moon, waning gibbous Moon, last quarter Moon, waning crescent Moon.

They are visible at night when the sun illuminates the moon and creates what appears to be different shapes of the moon the reason why there are faces are because the sun illuminates the moon and the earth rotates and covers the moon in different areas every few days and that’s why there is phases of the moon.
