The moon will disappear when it is in the new moon phase, as ironic as that sounds.
The Moon does not actually disappear when there are no clouds in sight. It may appear to disappear briefly when it moves behind the Earth's shadow during a lunar eclipse. Otherwise, the Moon is still present, but its visibility can be affected by its phase or its position in the sky.
The moon does not disappear from the sky every month. What we observe as the moon "disappearing" is actually the result of its changing phases as it orbits Earth. During the new moon phase, the side of the moon facing Earth is not illuminated by the Sun, making it appear invisible in the night sky.
The moon appears to disappear during its different phases because its position relative to the Earth and the Sun changes, causing different portions of the moon to be illuminated from our perspective on Earth. This creates the different moon phases like new moon, where the moon is not visible in the sky.
No, the moon does not disappear. It follows a predictable cycle of phases where it waxes and wanes, moving through new moon, first quarter, full moon, and last quarter phases. The moon is always in the sky, even if it may not be visible depending on its phase and position relative to Earth and the sun.

New Moon.
The phase of the Moon that comes immediately before the new Moon phase is the waning crescent phase.

No, the moon does not disappear. It follows a predictable cycle of phases where it waxes and wanes, moving through new moon, first quarter, full moon, and last quarter phases. The moon is always in the sky, even if it may not be visible depending on its phase and position relative to Earth and the sun.
A waxing Moon can be seen when the Moon is larger in the sky, and is moving from the new Moon phase, and into the full Moon phase. A waning Moon is seen when the Moon is visibly smaller in the sky, and is moving from the full Moon phase, and into the new Moon phase.
The phase of the Moon that occurs when it is three-quarters full just before the full Moon phase is the waxing gibbous phase. This phase occurs as the Moon is waxing, or growing larger, towards the full Moon.
