That configuration is known as the "New Moon" phase.
New Moon
That is the new moon phase.
The phase of the moon where no part of it is visible is called a "new moon." This phase occurs when the moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun, making it appear completely dark from our perspective on Earth.
It is called the eclipse
It is Umbra: When a lunar eclipse occurs the Moon passes directly behind the Earth into its umbra (shadow).
Ah, that's when we have a "new moon," friend. It's like taking a refreshing break, where the moon rests a bit before showing us its bright and beautiful self again. Just a peaceful moment in the endless cycle of the night sky.
our moon is called lunar
clouds are made up of evaporated water and since there is no water on the moon there cannot be any clouds
Where I live, there is a distinct no-moon phase. Thus I cannot see any new moon within the old moon.
No. The moon has no atmosphere, and thus it cannot have tornadoes or any sort of weather.
The second full moon of any month is called a 'blue moon'. It is a rare occurrence. The saying 'once in a blue moon' means that something does not happen very often.
Yes, but it is not a "direct source" of its light. The Moon, like the Earth, is illuminated by the light of the Sun. The moonlight that we see is simply the part of the sunlight that is reflected by the lunar surface. This is easily seen by the phases of the Moon, when only part of the Moon's lighted surface is visible from Earth, and we cannot see the non-illuminated portion.During an eclipse of the Moon, the Earth is directly between the Sun and the Moon, so very little light makes it to the Moon.When there is a new moon phase, the Moon is between the Sun and the Earth, so we cannot see any of the illuminated part of the Moon.
