yes, because of new moon
Yes, but not on the dark side of the moon
Light from the sun is reflected off the moon making it visible in the dark.
When the side of the moon facing Earth is dark and not visible, it is called the "new moon" phase. During this phase, the sunlit side of the moon is facing away from Earth, making it appear dark from our perspective.
The New Moon is when the lit side of the moon is facing away from Earth, and only the dark side is visible.
Typically, the Dark Side of the Moon
The new moon phase occurs when the moon lies between the sun and Earth, with the side facing Earth in shadow. This position causes the moon to be not visible from Earth as the illuminated side faces away.
It appears completely dark during the new moon phase.
The Dark Moon, sometimes call "New Moon" is the phase of the moon where it is between the Earth and the Sun and cannot be seen.
The Dark Moon, sometimes call "New Moon" is the phase of the moon where it is between the Earth and the Sun and cannot be seen.
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.
When the moon is not visible to observers on Earth, it is likely in its new moon phase. During this time, the side of the moon facing Earth is not illuminated by the sun, making it appear dark and invisible from our perspective.
The new moon generally isn't visible because it is too close to the Sun to be visible, and because at the new moon, the sunlit side of the Moon is facing away from the Earth, and the dark side of the Moon is facing the Earth.
