Oh, there's no mistakes in art, my friend! When the moon is full, it reflects the most light to our beautiful Earth. Just like how we can radiate positivity and light into the world each day. Keep shining bright!
As seen from the moon, the Earth is a brighter source of light than the moon is as seen from the Earth. This also depends upon the phase of the Earth, just as the brightness of the moon varies by phase. A full moon and a full Earth are in the brightest phase.
We can see the Moon very faintly during this phase because, even though there is no Sun's light reflecting from the Moon, there is a small amount of light reflecting off Earth to the Moon. This 'Earthshine' is barely seen as a reflection from the Moon here on Earth.

Solar eclipses happen during NEW moons, when the Moon blocks the light of the Sun. Lunar eclipses happen during FULL moons, when the Earth blocks the light of the Sun.

During the new moon phase, the moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun. The side of the moon illuminated by the Sun is facing away from Earth, making it appear dark and invisible from our vantage point on Earth.
No, chlorophyll is not needed during the dark phase of photosynthesis. Chlorophyll is a pigment that absorbs light energy to drive the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis, which only occur during the light phase. In the dark phase (or light-independent phase), known as the Calvin cycle, chemical reactions use ATP and NADPH produced during the light phase to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.
During a new moon phase, the moon is located between the Earth and the Sun, so it is not visible from Earth.
If the Moon is between Earth and the Sun, it is not a phase, at all . . . it is a solar eclipse.
The phase of the moon depends on its position relative to the Earth and the Sun. As the moon orbits the Earth, its position changes and different amounts of sunlight reflect off its surface, creating the different phases we see from Earth.
When the side of the moon facing the earth receives no sunlight it is called a new moon
