Why can people on earth see the moon so well?

We can't always.... when it's the New Moon (the moon is between us and the Sun), we can't see it at all. However, as the moon orbits Earth, we can see it in the day or night sky. We see it well THEN, because it's only about 235,000 miles from Earth and 1/4 of Earth's size - about the size of Africa.

Why do you see phases of the Moon and not of the Sun?

We see phases of the Moon because we see the Moon by the Sun's light reflected off it. As the Earth and Moon orbit each other, the Sun-Moon-Earth angle changes, and we see different portions of the Moon's day side. The Sun is a star, so it shines with its own light and so there is no dark side.
