At the "new" moon, the moon is between the Earth and the Sun. When it is on a direct line between the Earth and Sun, that new moon becomes a solar eclipse.

If you were on the moons near side during a new moon how much of the side of earth facing you would be sunlit?

During a new moon, the side of the Earth facing the Moon would be completely sunlit. This is because, from the Moon's perspective, the Sun is positioned directly behind the Earth, illuminating the entire hemisphere of the Earth that is facing the Moon. Therefore, if you were on the Moon's near side during a new moon, you would see the Earth fully illuminated.
