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 phases of the moon can be observed from any location on Earth.

3 to 5 phases
Neap tides occur during the first and third quarter moon phases. During these phases, the gravitational forces of the moon and the sun are perpendicular to each other, resulting in lower tidal ranges. This means that the high tides are not as high, and the low tides are not as low compared to spring tides, which occur during the full and new moon phases.

Higher-than-average "spring" tides occur at the new moon and full moon phases. Lower-than-average "neap" tides happen at the quarter-moon phases.
No. A lunar eclipse is caused when the Moon passes through the shadow cast by the Earth; this can only occur when the Moon is full.
