Are the phases of the moon created by the earth’s shadow? And, if so, how can i see the moon in its phase during the daytime?

The phase of the moon is it’s own shadow you’re seeing. If you shine a light on a ball and look at it from the side, you get the same effect.

The earth’s shadow on the moon is uncommon – a lunar eclipse.
