The light source is pointed at the ball in a straight line. I don't know what else you want me to do. The sun's light is always on the earth and the moon.
I didn't make this animation, but it shows the relationship between the position of the moon and the moon's cycle. In this animation, the sun is on the left. You will see the earth rotate quickly (24 hour period), while the moon revolves slowly (about 1 month) it's why the moon's reflection is predictable and changes slowly each day.

I am just asking you to observe the moon when you get a chance. And to Question everything.
