If you lived on the sun would you still see the moon go through phases?
No, you wouldn't. The phases of the moon we see from earth depend on the fact that the sun lights different sides of it, though only one side of the moon always faces earth. The key is that we are looking at the way the sun lights the moon's surface from here on earth. From the sun, we'd see a moon that was constantly being lit, and lit from right where we were looking at it from, if that makes sense. No "darker" phases would ever appear. Whatever side of the moon faced us on the sun, the sun would light it up. And we'd always see that fully illuminated side.
