What is the difference between the sun and the moon during an eclipse?
In a solar eclipse, the moon is inbetween the sun and the Earth. This means that the moon casts a shadow on the Earth and block the sun's rays. If the moon is directly in front of the sun, the umbra (darkest part of the shadow) is on the Earth. Otherwise, we will only see the penumbra (where the moon only covers a part of the sun).A solar eclipse is where the earth is inbetween the sun and the moon. This can mean that the moon can disappear from the sky for some time (or the sun will be covered if you are standing on the moon!).

How many minutes does it take for the sun to be revealed after the moon cover it?
It depends on the eclipse. There's no guarantee the sun will be covered up completely, if the moon is its farthest distance from the earth. This is called an annular solar eclipse.
Is a new moon when only half the moon is covered?
a new moon is when the moon is completley covered
Why do you not see the new moon?
During a new moon, the earth blocks the sun's rays from hitting the moon, and thus does not let the moon reflect light to your eye. Basically, the new moon is covered completely by the earth's shadow.
