In the context of the Moon phase transporter, the position of the Sun relative to the Moon determines the phase of the Moon we observe from Earth. During a New Moon, the Sun and Moon are aligned, with the Sun illuminating the far side of the Moon. In contrast, during a Full Moon, the Earth is positioned between the Sun and the Moon, allowing the Sun to illuminate the side of the Moon facing us. The Moon phases progress as the Moon orbits Earth, with its position changing in relation to the Sun.
