Through our eyes
If you can see a full moon at your position on Earth, then someone on the exact opposite side of the world will see a new moon. This is because the full moon is when the side of the moon facing Earth is fully illuminated by the sun, so the side facing away from Earth is in shadow.
We can see the moon because it reflects sunlight to Earth.
A person can see the Moon from Earth because the Moon reflects sunlight, which makes it visible to us. When the Sun's light hits the Moon's surface, it bounces off and travels to Earth, allowing us to see the Moon in the night sky.
as the earth moves so does the moon and where the earth orbits the sun and the moon orbits earth as the earth moves around the sun the sun projects light and it hits the moon and we can see the light from the sun reflecting off the moon
Why do we see differences in the appearance and movements of the Sun and Moon from Earth
As it orbits the Earth there are times it can see the moon and there are times when it is on the opposite side of the Earth to the moon, so it can't see it.
The phases of the moon as it orbits the earth
We see a crescent moon.
To see the Earth, look down. To see the Moon, you have to be outside and look at the sky. Note that the Moon is not always above the horizon.

From earth we see the same side of the moon but depending on the position of the moon, earth, sun we see different portions of the moon- these are known as the phases of the moon.
