The new moon generally isn't visible because it is too close to the Sun to be visible, and because at the new moon, the sunlit side of the Moon is facing away from the Earth, and the dark side of the Moon is facing the Earth.

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.
