The characteristics of the Earth and Moon don't depend on the Moon's phase.

The thing that changes is their orientation relative to the sun. In fact, the

Moon's phase is the result of that orientation.

New Moon . . . Earth, Sun, and Moon in line, with Moon in the middle.

Crescent . . . Acute angle, with Earth at the vertex.

First/Third Quarter . . . Right angle, with Earth at the vertex.

Gibbous . . . Obtuse angle, with Earth at the vertex.

Full Moon . . . Earth, Sun, and Moon in line, with Earth in the middle.
