    Here's how we were taught about the moon, when I was a child.

    The moon's position relative to the sun. What you don't see is the shadow.

    i knew it had something to do with the sun, but i don't understand it...i can see my shadow when the sun projects it, plus from earth's pov the moon is in front of the sun and if it casts a shadow I should still see all the moon, no?

    If fact, if you look very closely,you can see the outline of the full moon despite the shadowed portion.
