We can see the Moon becauselight from the Sun reflects off it back to the Earth. If the Sun wasn't there, we wouldn't be able to see it. The Sun always lights up (illuminates) half of the Moon at one time. The Moon appears to change shape but what we actually seeing is the Moon lit up by the light from the Sun in different ways on different days.

The moon rises in the east and sets in the west due to the Earth's rotation from west to east. As the Earth rotates, the moon appears to move across the sky from east to west, mirroring the apparent movement of the sun. This east to west motion is an effect of the Earth's rotation and the moon's orbit around the Earth.

In what direction does the shadow of the moon move across the earth?

The shadow of the moon moves from west to east across the Earth during a solar eclipse. This occurs because the Earth rotates from west to east, causing the shadow created by the moon to travel in that direction as it crosses the surface. As a result, observers in the path of the eclipse see the shadow move across the landscape in the same west-to-east direction.
