the phase of the moon when it is invisible from Earth because it passes directly between the Earth and the sun.

Question

During a new moon, the sky seems very dark because there is no light from the moon.

Answer 1

This phase occurs when the moon is positioned between the Earth and the sun, with the sun illuminating the side of the moon facing away from us. As a result, the side of the moon we can see appears completely dark, making it invisible to us. This phenomenon is known as a new moon.
