Moon's revolution and rotation are such that only one side of the moon always faces us. The other side is not visible at that time. We only see that portion of it which reflects sunlight to us.
When earth comes between the sun and the moon, then it is called
A purnima
B first quarter
C new moon
D amavasya
purnima in sanskrit does not mean an eclipse but a full moon night
