Explanation:

Moon phases are determined by the relative positions of the Moon, Earth, and Sun. Instead, the Moon's phase depends only on its position relative to Earth and the Sun. The Moon doesn't make its own light, it just reflects the Sun's light as all the planets do. The Sun always illuminates one half of the Moon.
