Where is the moon located relative to earth ant the sun when it is new what about Venus?
the moon is between the sun and earth and venus is at west
Where is the moon located during a new moon?
Between Earth and the Sun.
Where is moon when half lit?
The moon's phases result from the changing relative positions of the Earth, Moon, and Sun. It doesn't matter where the moon is when it's half-lit (or in its first quarter); its position relative to Earth and the Sun does matter, however. When the Sun and Moon are aligned on the same side of the Earth the Moon is "new", and the side of the Moon visible from Earth is not illuminated by the Sun. As the Moon waxes (the amount of illuminated surface as seen from Earth is increasing), the lunar phases progress from new moon, crescent moon, first-quarter moon, gibbous moon and full moon phases, before returning through the gibbous moon, third-quarter (or last quarter) moon, crescent moon and new moon phases.
The position of the new moon is always located in the daytime sky?
False the new moon cant be seen from earth at all.
When the moon and sun are on the opposite sides of earth and on the same line then what may you see?
You will definitely see a New Moon, and you may see a Solar Eclipse, depending on the relative positions of the Sun and Moon, and your location on the Earth.

Between Earth and the Sun.
Why do you not have an eclipse every time we have an new or full moon?
The moon's orbit relative to the earth is tilted 5 degrees.
Where is the relative position of a spring tide?
The relative position of a spring tide is when the moon new or full is closest yo the earth.
How do the moon phases depend on the relative positions of the sun the moon and the earth?
For example, when the Moon is opposite to the Sun, it is full moon; when it is in the same direction as the Sun, it is new moon.

What is the relative locations of the sun earth and the moon during a new moon phase?
During the new moon, the Moon is in the same direction as the Sun - in front of the Sun, basically, since the Sun is farther away.
The position of the new moon is always located in the daytime sky?
False the new moon cant be seen from earth at all.
Why there is a phases in the moon?
Depending on the relative position (direction, actually) of Earth, Moon, and Sun, we see the bright side of the Moon (full moon), the dark side (new moon), or something in between.
Why is a solar eclipse not seen in every new moon?
The moon's orbit is tilted by about 5 degrees relative to Earth's orbit around the sun. As a result, during most occurrences of the new moon, the moon does not pass directly between Earth and the sun. Additionally, since the moon is much smaller than Earth, even when an eclipse does occur, not all of Earth is in the moon's shadow.
How are the sun moon and Earth are positioned relative to each other during a new moon and how this alignment changes to produce a full moon?
During the new moon the Moon is between the Earth an the Sun. Hence only the side that cannot be seen from Earth is illuminated, making the moon appear dark. During the full moon the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon so sunlight falls on the side of the moon facing the Earth, making it appear bright.
When the moon and sun are on the opposite sides of earth and on the same line then what may you see?
You will definitely see a New Moon, and you may see a Solar Eclipse, depending on the relative positions of the Sun and Moon, and your location on the Earth.
