What else can I help you with?
If you lived on the sun would you still see the moon go through phases?
No, you wouldn't. The phases of the moon we see from earth depend on the fact that the sun lights different sides of it, though only one side of the moon always faces earth. The key is that we are looking at the way the sun lights the moon's surface from here on earth. From the sun, we'd see a moon that was constantly being lit, and lit from right where we were looking at it from, if that makes sense. No "darker" phases would ever appear. Whatever side of the moon faced us on the sun, the sun would light it up. And we'd always see that fully illuminated side.
What would the moon look like if it did not reflect light from the sun?
It would be dark.The only thing that makes the moon lighted up is the sun. Therefore, if the sun did not reflect the light it has, the moon would be dark.
How does the moon become a new moon?
The new Moon "phase" is when the Moon is (more or less) in front of the Sun. We cannot normally see the Moon in this phase. If the Moon is exactly in front of the Sun, the Moon covers the Sun and we see a solar eclipse.
Why do we see the moon?

Are there eclipses on the moon?

Could you see the earths light if you were on the moon?
In the same way we see brightness from the Moon as a result of the Sun shining on it, you would see brightness on the Earth from the Moon when the Sun is shining on it. You would not be able to see normal lights, like street lights, from the Moon.
What would happen if you lived on the moon and there was an eclipse?
The same thing that happens when you're on eartlh and you see a solar eclipse. The sun disappears for a few minutes or seconds and comes back. On earth, it would be called a lunar eclipse, where the earth comes between the sun and the moon. On the moon, it would look like a solar eclipse.
If the sun disappered would you lose the moon?
The moon is gravitationally bound to the earth.If the sun weren't there to illuminate it, the moon would continue to accompany the earthwherever we went, but we couldn't see it.

How is it possible for us to see the moon at night?
We see light (from the sun) reflected off the moon. That's how we see almost everything! In an eclipse of the earth we would not see the moon as it would be in our shadow.
If the new moon was visible where would you look to see the new moon when it rises?
At new moon, the Moon is right next to the Sun - that is, you see it in the same direction, more or less. At new moon, the Moon rises together with the Sun.
