The New Moon is directly overhead in locations close to the equator but even when the New Moon is directly overhead it won't be visible because the shadowed side of the moon is facing the Earth. Also when the New Moon is directly overhead, the sun will also be close to overhead as well, as the moon is closest to the sun during the New Moon phase.

What do you call the moon is directly in line with the sun?
When the moon is directly in line with the sun, it is called a "new moon." This is the phase where the moon is not visible from Earth because it is positioned between the Earth and the sun.
Where is the set of new moon?
The new moon occurs when the moon is directly between the Earth and the Sun, making it appear completely dark in the night sky. Its position in the sky changes throughout the month as it orbits the Earth.
Does the new moon appear small or large?
The "new moon" is technically not visible at all. The Moon is directly between the Earth and the Sun and none of the illuminated part is visible from Earth. Sometime on the day of the new moon, the Moon will appear as a very thin crescent (last crescent or first crescent).
What is the antonym of full moon day?
In astronomical terminology, the New Moon is the lunar phase that occurs when the Moon, in its monthly orbital motion around Earth, lies between Earth and the Sun, and is therefore in conjunction with the Sun as seen from Earth. At this time, the illuminated half of the Moon faces directly toward the Sun, and the dark or unilluminated portion of the Moon faces directly toward Earth, so that the Moon is invisible as seen from Earth. [Note: The illuminated half of the moon always faces directly toward the sun, as does the illuminated half of any body orbiting the sun. It's the moon's position relative to both the sun and earth that matters.]
What happens when the moon is directly between the sun and the earth?
When the moon is directly between the sun and the earth, it is a solar eclipse. The moon blocks the light of the sun from reaching Earth, casting a shadow on the Earth's surface. This phenomenon can only occur during a new moon phase.
Why do they call the moon the new moon when it is directly overhead?
Because they're ignorant, whoever "they" are. The term "New Moon" does not mean the Moon is directly overhead, it means that the Moon is (approximately) between the Earth and the Sun.
Is a full moon moon when the sun is directly hitting the Earht or is that a new moon?
I don't know what you mean, the Sun always "hits the Earth directly". A full moon happens when the Moon is opposite to the Sun in the sky.
What is the moon called when it is between the earth and the sun?
It is called a new moon (tiny part or no part of the Moon illuminated). If the Moon is directly between the Earth and Sun, it can cause a solar eclipse.
What is the position of the moon sun and Earth during a new moon?
During a new moon phase, the moon is between the sun and the earth. It usually passes not directly between the two, but above or even below. If the moon passes directly in front of the sun at this time, a solar eclipse occurs.
When was There's a New Moon Over My Shoulder created?
There's a New Moon Over My Shoulder was created in 1944.
Did an eclipse occur with each full moon and new moon explain?
No. The orbit of the Moon about the Earth does not lie exactly in the plane of the Earth's orbit about the Sun, so most of the time the Moon goes a little "over" or "under" the point at which it would be directly in line with the Sun.
What is the moon phase when there is a solar eclipse?
During a solar eclipse, the moon phase is a new moon. This is when the moon is positioned directly between the Earth and the Sun, casting a shadow on Earth and causing an eclipse.
Why does solar eclipse only happen at new moon?
A solar eclipse can only happen when the moon is directly between earth and the sun. And that only happens at - you guessed it - new moon.
What do you call the moon is directly in line with the sun?
