The moon orbits the Earth at about 250,000 miles, so its distance is dependent on the Earth's distance from the Sun, which on average is 93,000,000 (93 million) miles. So really, the moon's distance from the Sun varies very little.

What is the position of the sun moon and earth when there is a new moon?

At a "new" moon, the Moon is almost directly between the Sun and the Moon, so that the lit side of the Moon is facing toward the Sun, not the Earth, and the Moon is very close to the Sun in the sky, and it is difficult to see in the glare. I say "almost directly" because if the Moon were directly between the Sun and the Earth, there would be a solar eclipse. But because the Moon's orbit around the Earth is at an angle to the Earth's orbit around the Moon, the lineup is only close enough for an eclipse about every 6 months or so.


Is it quicker to fly to the moon than it is to the sun?

The moon is much close to the Earth and therefore is shorter to fly to.

How does the temperature change when the moon is close to the earth?

It doesn't - the moon's proximity to Earth has no bearing on Earth's temperature - the Sun does that.
