How does the sun moon and earth align during a new moon phase?

The moon is more or less in between the earth and the sun. now normally this doesn't make much sense (cause we'd see the sun like in an eclipse) but in this case the moon is not completely lined up and the sun is not above the horizon. this situation occurs much more often than an ecclipse because it's alot easier for the moon and the sun to be just a few degrees off than it is for the moon to be right in front of the sun.

A spring tide occurs during the full moon phase of the moon. This is also known as the new moon phase and the moon is located between the earth and the sun.
What lunar phase hides the moon from the earth?
New Moon. During this moon phase the sun is shining fully on the moon's far side and the near side remains dark. The only time it is visible from Earth is when a solar eclipse occurs.
What happens during the new moon phase when the moon passes directly between the sun and Earth?
A solar eclipse happens.
What phase of the moon would be visible during the highest spring tide?
Spring Tides occur during two phases, full and new moon. This is because the moon earth and sun are aligned during both of these phases. It is opposite during neap tide, in which the moon and sun meet at a right angle on earth, which means the moon during neap tide is at the first or third (last) quarter phase. Hope this helped! :)
