The moon's phases seen from earth, and the earth's phases seen from the moon, are always complementary.
If you add together the lighted portion of the moon as seen from earth, and the lighted portion of earth as seen
from the moon, they always exactly add up to a fully illuminated disk.
At the time of New Moon, a person standing at a place on the moon from which the earth is visible would see
a 'Full Earth'.

That's 24/7/365 ... just as it is on Earth.
The 'phase' of the moon depends on how much of the lighted half you can see
from where you are.

"IN" the Moon? Yes; probably most early settlements will be below-ground. Only the tourists will want windows out onto the lunar surface. Windows could break, letting out the air. Messy, and dangerous. Sensible Lunarians will live in safe, deep caves, and only come to surface domes on special occasions.

The moon phase observed from Earth, added to the Earth phase observed
from the moon at the same time, always add up to exactly one full disk.

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.
What is the only lunar phase in which a solar eclipse can occur?
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon is interposed between the Earth and the sun. This means that the dark side of the moom is facing Earth. The phase of the moon where the dark side faces Earth is called the New Moon.
What term describes the moon phase in which most of the side of the moon facing the earth illuminated?
Full Moon. A New Moon is when you can't see a moon at all.
Why does the earth experience moon phases?
The sun sets a glare on only one part of the moon each day. During a full moon the moon reflects light towards the Earth. During a new moon the moon reflects light away from the Earth.
Describe the new moon phase what it looks like and the position it is between the moon?
The new moon phase occurs when the moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun. During this phase, the moon is not visible from Earth since the illuminated side is facing away from us. It appears as a dark silhouette against the bright background of the Sun.
What does a new moon mean?
The new moon is the phase of the moon when only the side of the moon away from the earth is lit, so the side facing earth is in near total darkness. The moon is very difficult to see during this phase.
When the dark side of the moon is facing earth you have a?
A new Moon
Why is a new moon not visible?
A new moon is not visible because during this phase, the side of the moon facing Earth is not illuminated by the sun. The moon's position in its orbit causes it to be in alignment with the sun, meaning that the illuminated side is facing away from us. This makes the moon appear as a dark silhouette against the bright background of the sun's light.

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.
The side of the moon facing earth is dark and the moon not visible?
new moon
What is it called when the side of the moon facing earth receives no sun light?
When the side of the moon facing the earth receives no sunlight it is called a new moon
Why cant you see a new moon?
During a new moon, the side of the moon that is illuminated by sunlight is facing away from Earth so that the dark side of the moon is facing Earth. However, during a total solar eclipse (and with protective gear for your eyes) you can see the moon at the time of new moon. You will see the night time face of the moon without any detail at all.
What hallf of the moon is facing Earth during a New Moon?
The same half as the rest of the month. The Moon is tidally locked to Earth, and rotates at the same rate that it moves around the Earth, so the same side always faces the Earth.
What moon lies between the sun and earth so the side of the moon facing earth is dark and the moon is not visible?
The New Moon is when the lit side of the moon is facing away from Earth, and only the dark side is visible.
What The moon lies between the sun and earth so the side of the moon facing earth is dark and the moon is not visible?
The New Moon is when the lit side of the moon is facing away from Earth, and only the dark side is visible.
In what phase are the half of the moon facing the earth light up?
in the new moon, the lighted half of the moon is facing the sun and tha dark side faces the earth.
Where is the moon in its orbit when you can not see it at all?
When the moon is on the same side of the earth that the sun is its called a new moon and isn't visable because the sun only shines on the side facing away from the earth. When the moon is on the same side of the earth that the sun is its called a new moon and isn't visable because the sun only shines on the side facing away from the earth. It is typically in its "new" phase. While other phases partially or fully reflect sunlight, the new moon is situated between the Earth and the Sun. Thus, the sunlit area of the Moon is facing completely away from the Earth. One other circumstance where the moon cannot be seen is during a lunar eclipse. During a full moon, the moon is usually illuminated across the entire surface visible from Earth. However, the Earth is situated between the Moon and the Sun-when all three are aligned, the Earth casts a shadow upon the Moon. It takes about one and a half hours for the Moon to be completely obscured during a total eclipse.
