∙ 9y agoThe moon looks like a banana or a sliver because, the sun is only reflecting on that part of the moon. So you know the reason we can see the moon? It's because that side of the moon is facing the sun. We would not be able to see the moon if there was no sun. The moon is dark. Its just that the sun makes the moon look white/yellow. You know what I mean?
