Geocentric Earth

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

Let me try this again. Ok, we have phases of the moon visible, night and day, to us except the new moon. We see a waning and waxing moon to full day and night. We only watch solar and lunar eclipses. Why don't we see at least some black dot, during the day, in the sky during a new moon?

Unless the moon is behind the sun. Well, if during a new moon, the moon is behind the sun, then how is the moon NOT orbiting the sun and not the earth?

You can't be that stupid (or maybe you can, not for me to judge).

You don't see the new moon during the day because the sun isn't shining on it.  When you see the moon in any other phase during daylight hours, you only see the part illuminated by the sun, the rest of the moon - even though still there - looks like the rest of the sky.

You grasp that the sun is substantially more distant from us than the moon is, correct?
