Tanisha says that the Moon looks dark from Earth when the Moon is in two different places: always when it is closest to the sun, as in Top View #1, and always when it is furthest from the sun, as in Top View #2. Is Tanisha correct? If she is correct, explain why the Moon always looks dark from Earth in both of these positions. If she is incorrect, explain when the Moon looks dark from Earth and how the light on the Moon should look in each of Tanisha’s diagrams.

Tanisha is wrong in her conclusion ( i.e. the moon will appear dark only when it is behind the earth ( furthest away from the sun ) )

The moon gets its light from the sun and the closer the moon is to the sun the more light it gets and is has to be positioned in-between the sun and the earth to have such light rays as well.

When the moon is furthest from the sun it will be positioned behind the sun ( i.e. the earth is in-between the sun and the moon ). during this period  the moon will appear dark because the Earth been bigger than the moon sheds away light rays coming from the sun towards the moon.

Hence we can conclude that Tanisha is wrong in her conclusion.
