Phases, eclipses and tides, sentence 0

The Sun always lights half of the Moon, like a lamp lighting half of a ball; as the Moon goes round us we see more or less of that lit half, and these are the phases.

Who acts: Sun, Moon, we, these · What happens: light, go round, see, be · To what, where: half, us, more, phases
