MOON PHASES game – How do we see the moon?

GAME INFO
Online moon phase game, with a diagram showing a person observing the moon from Earth. The distant sun illuminates the moon as if its rays were traveling in a straight line, and the observer on Earth sees the moon illuminated differently depending on its position, creating the moon phases. Depending on how the sun illuminates the moon, given our position on Earth, we see the moon fully illuminated, partially illuminated, or not illuminated at all. When we see it partially, different shapes appear, such as the typical crescent or waning moon, which is how we usually identify the moon. Learn about the phases of the moon, from full and new moon to quarters and gibbous moons, but above all, understand how the moon looks and how it depends on the position of the observer.
Drag the view that a person on Earth would see of the moon, with full, no, or partial illumination. How does a person see the illumination of the natural satellite around the Earth? How does it vary as the moon rotates around the Earth? A game that simplifies some astronomical knowledge so that we can understand why lunar phases exist and how they work.
