Why does none of the moon appear lit during a new moon?

• The sun's light is blocked by Earth's shadow
• Because the moon is between the Earth and the Sun
• Because the moon is located at a right angle to Earth, relative to the sun
• Part of the moon that is lit faces away from the sun and Earth

Why does only part of the moon appear lit during a waning crescent moon?

• Because the moon is moving between the sun and Earth as it orbits the Earth
• The moon is moving slowly out of alignment with Earth and the sun
• The moons position in its revolution around Earth causes Earth to block some of the suns light 
• Because Earths position in its revolution around the sun blocks the light
