The moon is more or less in between the earth and the sun. now normally this doesn't make much sense (cause we'd see the sun like in an eclipse) but in this case the moon is not completely lined up and the sun is not above the horizon. this situation occurs much more often than an ecclipse because it's alot easier for the moon and the sun to be just a few degrees off than it is for the moon to be right in front of the sun.
