During the new Moon phase, we see the side of the Moon that is not illuminated by the Sun, so it appears as a dark circle in the sky. This is because the Moon is located between the Earth and the Sun, with its illuminated side facing away from us.
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.
The moon appears unlit during the new moon phase, when it is positioned between the Earth and the sun, with the side illuminated by the sun facing away from Earth.
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.
The new moon phase occurs when the moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun, with the side of the moon that is illuminated facing away from us and appearing dark. This phase marks the beginning of the lunar cycle and is not visible from Earth.
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.
The new moon phase appears completely dark when observed from Earth because the side of the moon illuminated by the sun is facing away from us. This means that no sunlight is reaching the side of the moon that we can see, making it invisible to us.
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.

On January 29, 2010, the phase of the moon in the US Midwest was a waning crescent.
The moon appears unlit during the new moon phase, when it is positioned between the Earth and the sun, with the side illuminated by the sun facing away from Earth.
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.

The new moon occurs when the Moon is located between the Earth and the Sun, with its dark side facing us. Because the side facing Earth is not illuminated by the Sun, the new moon appears invisible to us from Earth.
Full moon.
A new moon appears completely dark on Earth because the side of the moon illuminated by the sun is facing away from us, so the reflected light is not visible from our perspective. This alignment creates a new moon phase, where the moon is not visible in the night sky.
