When do new moons and full moons occur?
New moons occur when the moon is directly between the Earth and the Sun, so it appears dark in the sky. Full moons occur when the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon, causing the entire sunlit side of the moon to be visible from Earth. New moons and full moons happen about every 29.5 days.

Why don't solar eclipses occur on all new moon day?
Solar eclipses always occur at the new moon because the sun, moon and earth are in alignment. However because the orbits of the earth and moon are not exactly aligned with each other there are new moons when the sun appears to be above or below the new moon as seen from the earth.
When do first quarter moons occur?
First quarter moons occur about a week after a new moon, when the moon has completed approximately one-quarter of its orbit around Earth. During this phase, half of the moon's surface is illuminated by the sun, making it appear as a semi-circular shape. This phase typically happens around the 7th to 8th day of the lunar cycle.
Do solar eclipse occur at the full moon or the new moon?

What types of tides occur at new moons and full moons?
When the Sun, Earth and Moon are nearly lined up, the Sun and Moon's gravitational effects on tides are amplified slightly, causing higher-than-average 'spring tides". This happens at the new and full moon phases. When the Moon is at right angles to the Sun-Earth line, at the first and third quarter moon phases, we have lower-than-average "neap" tides.
