It can be seen quite clearly in the sky, even during the day. The moon has to be above the horizon in order to be seen. The moon goes around the Earth on a daily basis, so more than half the time it is below the horizon and can't be seen.
New Moon.
A "gibbous" Moon has between 51% and 99% of the illuminated side of the Moon visible from Earth. Just to be precise; the Moon is always 50% illuminated. The Moon is a rocky ball, half in sunlight and half in darkness. As the Moon orbits the Earth, the same face of the Moon is always visible. From the Earth, we see "phases" of the Moon as the Moon orbits the Earth. At the new moon phase, the illuminated half of the Moon is the "far side" of the Moon; at the full, the illuminated half is the "near side".
You will never see a new moon during sunset because, at this phase, the moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun. This alignment means the illuminated side of the moon is facing away from Earth, making it essentially invisible in the night sky. Hence, the new moon is not visible at sunset or at any time during the night.
they are always out at the same time so yes but it is scince we are tilted they can also see it. _________________________________ Except at the full Moon, there is always a period at night when the Moon is not visible; either it has already set, or has not yet risen. At the new phase of the Moon, the Sun and Moon are pretty close in the sky, and the Moon isn't visible at all during the night.
The moon's phases are caused by the earth blocking the light from sun and casting a shadow on the moon. we are between the moon and the sun entirely at a new a new moon and we are not blocking any sun light at full moon.
The moon is called a new moon when it is not visible on Earth due to its position in relation to the Sun.
The new moon is visible once a month when the moon is blocked by the Earth's shadow

No. None of the lunar surface is visible from Earth during the New Moon phase.
When the moon is not visible to observers on Earth, it is likely in its new moon phase. During this time, the side of the moon facing Earth is not illuminated by the sun, making it appear dark and invisible from our perspective.
If there isn't a new moon that night, then yes.
The moon may be in its new moon phase, where it is positioned between the Earth and the Sun, making it not visible from Earth. Other factors such as weather conditions, time of day, or location could also contribute to the moon not being visible.
The new moon phase occurs when the moon lies between the sun and Earth, with the side facing Earth in shadow. This position causes the moon to be not visible from Earth as the illuminated side faces away.
When the side of the moon facing Earth is dark and not visible, it is called the "new moon" phase. During this phase, the sunlit side of the moon is facing away from Earth, making it appear dark from our perspective.
