the sun
The Earth blocks out some of the light from the sun going to the moon so a part of it has no light
the sun because the moon doesnt make its own light
The moon appears bright because it reflects light from the sun. The amount of sunlight that hits the moon's surface and the position of the moon in the sky affect how bright it appears to us on Earth.
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, blocking the Sun's light from reaching the Earth. This alignment causes the Moon to cast a shadow on the Earth, resulting in either a partial or total solar eclipse.
The surface of the moon is covered with a high reflecting stonepowder, which reflects the sunrays. So, the moon itself doesn't glow, the sun does.
the way the sun light hits it during the rotation of the moon
Not exactly. The Moon and its gravitational force causes the tides to rise and fall as the moon moves around the Earth. Not its Light.

the way the sun light hits it during the rotation of the moon
Several factors cause the phases of the moon. The "light" side of the moon is light because light from the sun reflects off of it. (Interestingly enough, because of the way the moon revolves on its axis and revolves around the earth, the same side is light at all times.) The side that faces the sun is always light. As the moon revolves around the earth, the angle at which we see the moon changes, so we see different parts of the moon. This causes phases.

Solar eclipses occur when the moon comes between the Earth and the Sun.
The moon reflects the light of the sun.As the moon revolves around the earth its relative position between the earth and the sun changes, so light is reflected from different portions of the moon. This is what causes the phases.

The combination of the light from the sun and the moon's orbit around Earth causes the moon to appear differently at different times during the month. This creates the phases of the moon, such as the new moon, full moon, and crescent moon, as we observe from Earth.
