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.
During the new moon phase, the side of the moon facing Earth is not illuminated by the sun, making it impossible to see.
No, during a full moon, we see the entire lighted side of the moon, whereas during a new moon, the lighted side of the moon is facing away from Earth so we see no lighted side at all.
The amount of lighted side of the moon you can see is the same during first quarter and third quarter phases. These phases occur when half of the moon's surface is illuminated, and they represent the halfway points between new moon and full moon phases.

During the new moon you can't see no bright side because the sun is facing away from the moon.
The moon cycle starts over.

The sun is not reflecting on the moon
We see solar eclipses only during New Moon, but not every New Moon is accompanied by a solar eclipse.
We only see the Moon because it reflects light from the Sun. During a new moon, the far side is illuminated, and the near side is not.
well by you can't see the moon, I think you mean new moon. You have a new moon during a solar eclipse (moon is blocking the sun)
u can see the moon at day to but very faintly. u can see it at night better because the light from the sun reflects off the moon. the moon is not a light source itself but just looks like one. this is actually the suns light u are seeing The moon being only seen at night is a common misconception, depending on the phase of the moon, it can be seen during the day.
