i've been taught that the earth is between the moon and the sun. and the moon does not produce light by itself, but rather, the sun illuminates it.
but if the earth is inbetween, then isn't the sun suppose to cast a on the moon instead of lighting it up?
and let's say if what i thought was wrong, the moon isn't directly opposite and therefore the sun can light up the moon, then isn't it so that there will be a certain part on earth that cannot see the presence of the sun or moon at certain time at all? and if that's so, then which part is it?
