imagine being in a dark room and holding up a black ball, which you can't see. then you turn on a flashlight and shine it on the moon. you can see the part of the ball that the flashlight shines on but you can't see the other half. now walk around the ball withought getting in the light's way. when you are behind the ball, you can't see it at all. when you are to the side of the ball, you can see half of it. when you are in front of the ball, you can see the whole thing. the ball represents the moon, the flashlight is the sun, and you are the earth. technicaly the ball should be going around you and not you around the ball, but the same effect will happen. this is how moon phases work.
