A new moon is difficult to see because it occurs when the Moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun, causing the side of the Moon that is illuminated by the Sun to face away from Earth. As a result, the Moon is essentially in shadow and blends in with the bright background of the Sunlit sky. Additionally, the thin crescent that appears shortly after a new moon is often too faint to be detected without optimal viewing conditions.
What else can I help you with?
When the moon is hardly seen what is that called?
That is called a "thin crescent moon." This phase occurs when the illuminated portion of the moon is only a small sliver, making it difficult to see in the sky.
What phases can we not see the moon?
The phases of the moon that we cannot see are the New Moon and the waning crescent phase, specifically when it is positioned between the Earth and the Sun. During the New Moon, the moon is illuminated by the sun on its far side, making it virtually invisible from Earth. Similarly, the waning crescent phase occurs just before the New Moon, when only a small sliver of the moon is visible, often making it difficult to see against the brightness of the sky.

Moonlight is reflected sunlight. When the moon and sun are on opposite sides of the earth the face of the moon we can see is illuminated and it is a full moon. When the sun and moon are on the same side of the earth then the side of the moon away from us is illuminated.
