Balboa claimed the entire Pacific ocean and all lands adjoining it for Spain.
Hello!
We are able to see the moon because the sun shines light onto it. Depending on the location of the moon around the Earth, we can see more or less of it at different times. When the moon is directly across from the sun, we can see a full moon. When the sun is behind the moon, no light is reflecting onto it. This results in a new moon.
I hope this helps you!
