Planetshine is the illumination, by reflected sunlight from a planet, of part of the otherwise dark side of one of its moons. The best known example of planetshine is earthshine, which can be seen from Earth when the Moon is new, or nearly so. Typically, this results in the side of the Moon opposite the Sun being bathed in a soft, faint light. Planetshine has been observed elsewhere in the solar system: in particular, it has recently been used by the Cassini space probe to image portions of the moons of Saturn even when they are not directly lit by the Sun.
Earthshine is reflected earthlight visible on Moon's night side. It is also known as the Moon's ashen glow or as the old Moon in the new Moon's arms.
Earthshine is most readily observable from shortly before until shortly after a new moon, during the waxing or waning crescent phase. When the Moon is new as viewed from Earth, Earth is nearly fully lit up as viewed from the Moon. Sunlight is reflected from the Earth to the night side of the Moon. The night side appears to glow faintly and the entire orb of the Moon is dimly visible.

Look into my history
I can recall the days of slavery
How they treat our ancestors
They treat them so bad
They let them work the plantation
Even plough the earth
They work them and work them
They work them to death
