Picture the moon moving around the earth in its orbit once a month. ================================================ At one time of the month, the sun, moon, and earth are lined up like this: Sun Earth Moon The people on the back side of the earth are looking straight at the fully-lit side of the moon, so they see a Full Moon. ============================================ At another time of the month, the sun, moon, and earth are lined up like this: Sun Moon Earth Anybody on the front half of the earth can look toward where the moon is, but even if they do, they don't see anything, because they're looking at the side of the moon where the sun isn't shining and it's dark. This is the time of New Moon.

The sun (Way bigger)Then the earthThen the moonThe sun is the largest out of the moon, sun, and earth.moon earth sun
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
The moon is to the earth, as the earth is to the sun.

how do he earth and moon rely on the sun
When the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon, it is a Full Moon but when the Sun, Moon and Earth are directly in line - we will get a lunar eclipse.
The moon is to the earth, as the earth is to the sun.
The Earth orbits the Sun, and the Moon orbits the Earth. About four times a year, they all line up almost exactly; at least, exactly enough that the shadow of the Moon hits the Earth, or the shadow of the Earth hits the Moon. When they line up as "Sun, Earth, Moon", we have a lunar eclipse; when it lines up as Sun, Moon, Earth, then we have a solar eclipse.
