During what phase can the moon not be seen from earth?
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".
How can the moon be seen from earth?
The moon can be seen from Earth because it reflects sunlight. As it orbits our planet, different portions of its illuminated side become visible, creating the various phases of the moon. Its proximity to Earth allows us to observe its surface details, while the lack of its own light means we only see it when sunlight shines on it.

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.
