This make me sad, English major or otherwise. I mean, you can look up at the moon and see when the far side is at least partially illuminated.

But you can’t see the far side from earth…

Earth isn't a source of light.

Well, it is a pretty poor indirect source. Just like the moon lighting things at night by reflecting the sun, Earth does the same.
