This is the NEW MOON phase. Sometimes it can pass directly in front of the Sun, whereupon it is a Total/Partial Eclipse.
The other phases of the Moon are ;-
-
New Crescent(waxing) ; seen in the evening sky, about 3 or 4 days after the New Moon.
-
First Quarter(waxing) ; seen in the evening/ early night sky, about 7 days after the New Mon.
-
New/First Quarter Gibbous(waxing); seen in the early night sky , about 11 days after the New Moon.
-
Full Moon; seen in the night sky ,14 days days after New Moon. It is full and round and glowing.
-
Full/Old/Last Quarter Gibbous(waning); See in the late night sky, 17 days after the full moon.
-
Old/Last Quarter(waning); seen in the late night/early morning sky, about 21 days after the New Moon.
-
Old/Last Crescent(waning) ; seen in the early morning sky, about 25 days after New Moon.
-
New Moon again. seen in the day time, about 28/29 days after the previous New Moon.
NB In good clear atmospheric conditions, when, in the evening, the crescent Moon is visible, you may see the 'ghost' of the full circle of the Moon. It is said of a first crescent Moon ; 'The New Moon , with the Old Moon in here arms'.
Conversely in the morning ; ' It is the Old Moon, with the New Moon in here arms'.
Hope that helps!!!!

New moon, for the moon's bright side faces away from the earth.

Full moon, for the moon's bright side faces the earth.

∙ 10y agoThe Last Quarter, the Waning Crescent, the New Moon, the Waxing Crescent, and the First Quarter.
The Moon spends one-half of its orbit on the same side of the Earth as the Sun, and during that time it always appears half illuminated or less. The Gibbous phases and the Full Moon occur when the Moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun, and the Moon is never less than half illuminated.

∙ 11y agowe would see the moon's shadow: a dark circle in the sky and very little light during the day because the moon's blocking it.
@ night though, you see just the dark spot with a yellowish, but strong glow "outlining" it

∙ 9y agoWhen they're lined up with Earth in the middle the night half of Earth sees the full moon. The new moon phase is when they're lined up with the moon in the middle, although the new moon is also defined as the time a day or two later when the beginning edge of the crescent first becomes visible.

∙ 13y agoIt would be a full moon, even on fairly rare occasions when the allignment is good enough for the earth to put a shadow on it (lunar eclipse).

∙ 13y agoYou would see a full moon phase in this situation.

∙ 12y agoAll of them,except the new moon which we can't see inless we're in space on the moon!:)

When is the moon Ariel in the next new moon phase and the next full moon phase?
Ariel is the moon of a superior planet (Uranus), so it's never between the Earth and the Sun. If we see it at all, we see it as a full moon.
What is the phase when you see half the moon or earth?
Half-moon Half-Earth
What earth phase do you see when you see a waxing gibbous phase on the moon?
It would be the opposite. If we went to the moon when it was full, we would look back at an earth in shadow (a `new earth`) If we went to the moon when it was new, then it would be between us and the sun, so we would look back at a full earth. For a waxing gibbous from earth, the earth would be a waning crescent from the moon.
What phase is it when you cant see the moon because its between the earth and sun?
The Moon's phase when it's between the Earth and the sun is called a New Moon. It's in this position where at times there is a Solar Eclipse of the Sun. Please refer to the link I have attached.
Where is the moon in its orbit when a solar eclipse occurs?
A solar eclipse is where the moon obscures the sun from observers on earth, the moon is between the earth and the sun, blocking the sun out to us on earth. The moon is in a new moon phase at this point, we cant see it before or after the eclipse, as the sunlight reflecting back off its surface is on the other side to us.
What moon phase do you see when the earth is in between the sun and the moon?
Full Moon
In what phase is the moon when you do not see it?
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.
In what phase can we not see the Moon from Earth?
In the new Moon phase.
What moon phase do you see when the earth is between the sun and moon?
lunar eclipse which is the moon blocking the sun
When the moon is between the Sun and the earth what phase do you see?
lunar eclipse which is the moon blocking the sun
What does the phase on the moon you see depend on?
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.
What phase is the moon in when you can't see it?
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.
When is the moon Ariel in the next new moon phase and the next full moon phase?
Ariel is the moon of a superior planet (Uranus), so it's never between the Earth and the Sun. If we see it at all, we see it as a full moon.
What is the phase when you see half the moon or earth?
Half-moon Half-Earth
When your friends back on Earth see the moon in its full phase in what phase would you see the earth if you are standing on the side of the moon facing the earth?
If you are standing on the full moon you would be facing the earth at night.
When earth comes between sun and moon?
We can see the Full Moon phase. If the alignment is just right we can get a lunar eclipse.
