the new moon cannot be seen from earth because there is no sunlight hitting the moon so there is no reflection to see in the sky
Why the moon is lit up?
The moon is lit by sunlight just like the earth. Because of it's rotation relative to the earth, only one face of it is visible to people on earth. Thus, the expression, "the dark side of the moon". When the Earth is between the Sun and the moon, it is more or less invisible, since no direct light is striking it. We call this period of a few days a "new moon".
Does waxing moon increases the sunlight?

What does the moon refect as it orbits the moon?
The moon reflects sunlight as it orbits the Earth. Its surface appears to change in appearance due to the varying angles at which sunlight hits it, resulting in different phases of the moon as seen from Earth.
Why does the moon show in daytime?

What causes the different parts of the moon to appear lighted?
The different parts of the moon appear lighted because of sunlight reflecting off its surface. As the moon orbits Earth, the angle of sunlight hitting its surface changes, causing different parts to be lit or in shadow. This results in the different phases of the moon as seen from Earth.
Can you see sunlight from the moon?
Yes, sunlight can be seen from the moon. During the day on the moon, the surface facing the sun is illuminated just like on Earth. However, as the moon rotates, there are also lunar nights where the sunlight is not visible.

Why do you not see the whole moon?
Because moonlight is reflected sunlight, some of the moon is in shadow and cannot be seen from our viewpoint
What are changing views of the moon as seen from earth?
The changing views of the moon as seen from Earth are due to its phases, which are a result of the changing positions of the moon, Earth, and sun. The moon goes through a cycle of phases, including new moon, crescent, first quarter, gibbous, full moon, gibbous, last quarter, and crescent, as it orbits Earth. These phases are the result of the varying amounts of sunlight that illuminate different parts of the moon's surface as seen from Earth.
