    .. When you see part of the moon in darkness, it's the
    Earth's shadow on the moon.

    Wrong.

    The shadow is due to the sun, not the earth. The only time the
    earth's shadow hits the moon is during a lunar eclipse.

    Are you sure? I think it is the reflection of the sun and the shadow of the earth that you see. The earth is just blocking the rays.

    yes it's not the earths shadow that causes the dark side of the moon.

    you ever tried shining a light on a ball from one side.. the other side is devoid of light lol
