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.

What is the name given to the phase of the moon in which the moon is not visible?

New Moon.


What is the minimum percent of the moon that needs to be illuminated in order for the phase to be called gibbous?

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".


Which shape of the moon will you never see during sunset?

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.


When the Sun and Moon are out at the same time is there no Sun and Moon out on the other side of the earth?

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.


What causes the phases of the moon that is visible to earth?

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.
