Well, honey, the moon isn't two-faced, but it does have a bright side and a dark side. The bright side (cue music) faces Earth and gets all the attention, while the dark side is more mysterious and only gets love from the occasional spacecraft. So, to wrap it up, one side is a diva always facing us, while the other is the moon's best kept secret.

Yes, the sun can be between the moon and Earth during a lunar eclipse. In this event, the Earth comes directly between the sun and the moon, blocking the sun's light from reaching the moon. However, the sun is never physically located between the two; instead, it is the Earth's position that creates the alignment necessary for this phenomenon.


The different phases of the moon are caused by?

Actually it is not the rotation of the earth but the orbit of the moon around the earth that causes the phases of the moon. The moon's relationship in it's orbit with regard to the sun is what causes the phases to change. When the moon is between the earth and the sun, it is in a "new moon" phase because the only side of the moon that is lit with sunshine is the far side or the unseen side of the moon. When the earth is between the sun and the moon, the moon is at "full moon" phase. In between these two extremes gives us the 1st quarter and the 3rd quarter phases.
