In the new Moon phase.
The phase in which the moon is not visible from earth is called the "new" moon. It happens when the moon is aligned between the sun and the earth (every 28 days), which causes the side of the moon that we usually see to be in shadow.
Full moon
All phases of the moon can be viewed from the earth. The moon is easier to see on a clear night, though the moon can also be seen during the day, depending on its orbit, and how bright the sunlight is.
It depends on what phase the moon is in. You can see anything from nothing, a sliver, to a full circle.
The new moon is the phase of the moon when only the side of the moon away from the earth is lit, so the side facing earth is in near total darkness. The moon is very difficult to see during this phase.
Half-moon Half-Earth
If you are standing on the full moon you would be facing the earth at night.

the New Moon is difficult to see from the earth since the sunlit side of the moon is turned away from the earth.

The phases of the moon are dependant on the relative positions of the sun, moon and earth. It's the angle between the view-lines to the sun and the moon, with you at the vertex of the angle. The phase of the moon you see depends on how much of the sunlit side of the moon faces earth.
