When the moon is in between the earth and the sun, but not in the same plane, we see a solar eclipse.
Why do you see different phases of the moon if the same side is always facing the earth?
The phases of the moon are the result of the ever-changing positions of the Earth, moon, and sun relative to one another. When the moon and the sun are on opposite sides of the earth (whereby the sun, earth, and moon form a straight line), a full moon occurs. When the moon and sun are on the same side of the earth (whereby the sun,moon, and earth form a straight line), a new moon occurs.
