Is a new moon and no moon are same?

Yes. A new moon appears as if there is no moon in the sky, but it is actually there.It is the same as the new moon is not visible (too close to the Sun). It is visible later when followed by the Moon's first visible crescentWhen the Sun and Moon are aligned on the same side of the Earth the Moon is "new", and the side of the Moon visible from Earth is not illuminated by the Sun.As the Moon waxes (the amount of illuminated surface as seen from Earth is increasing), the lunar phases progress from new moon, crescent moon, first-quarter moon, gibbous moon and full moon phases, before returning through the gibbous moon, last-quarter (or last quarter) moon, crescent moon and new moon phases.The terms old moon and new moon are interchangeable, although new moon is more common.
