the position of the sun does not move the moon and earth do how ever during a new mood the moon is in front of the sun lighting up the oppisite side of the moon the side we cannot see, on the full moon the moon is behind earth causing the sun to illuminate our side on the moon

S-----M-----E = new moon
S----E-----M = Full moon
