Describe the new moon phase what it looks like and the position it is between the moon?
The new moon phase occurs when the moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun. During this phase, the moon is not visible from Earth since the illuminated side is facing away from us. It appears as a dark silhouette against the bright background of the Sun.
What moon phase has earth directly between the sun and moon?
The full moon. Earth is ALMOST directly between the sun and moon, so the sun is "behind" us when we look at the moon. That is why the moon appears entirely lit to us, and is considered "full". If Earth IS directly between the sun and moon, which does not happen during most full moons, then there is a lunar eclipse.

What moon phase does the moon appear unlit?

Which Moon phase reflects the most light?
As we see it, it is the full Moon. However, at any time, the Sun is shining on a full side of the moon, so the same amount of light is reflected, but less light is reflected towards us. How much daylight and darkness there is, also affects how much light appears to be reflected from the Moon as we see it. So when the Moon is visible before the Sun sets, it doesn't look as bright as it does after the Sun sets.
What does new moon mean in the twilight series?
The term "new moon" refers to the phase of the moon opposite a full moon. It is when the sun is on the opposite side of the moon from us and thus the bright side of the moon is not visible from earth. This is the darkest kind of night. New Moon is the darkest period of Bella's life.
Why is that during the phase of the moon is full moon why is that lunar eclipse is occur?
AS the moon is in its phases and appears in full (full moon) our planet earth is somewhat away from the connecting line between the moon and and the sun. so it appears to us as full moon. during this phase if our planet earth comes across the line of sight between the moon and the sun, it shadows upon the surface of the moon. we call this phenomina as lunar eclipse.

Why does moon look to us illuminated?
It appears illuminated to us because we see the reflection of the Sun's light upon it. Some of it bounces back to Earth and to your eye, sensing the light. Only the portion of the moon that is lit by the Sun during a given moon phase will show as illuminated, giving us the images of the half moon, full moon and so on.
