The moon is more or less in between the earth and the sun. now normally this doesn't make much sense (cause we'd see the sun like in an eclipse) but in this case the moon is not completely lined up and the sun is not above the horizon. this situation occurs much more often than an ecclipse because it's alot easier for the moon and the sun to be just a few degrees off than it is for the moon to be right in front of the sun.
The earth experiences spring tides when the moon is in the new moon phase and the full moon phase. During these times, the gravitational forces of the sun and the moon align, creating higher than normal tides.
No, a lunar eclipse can only occur during a full moon phase when the Earth passes directly between the Sun and the Moon, casting its shadow on the Moon. In contrast, the quarter moon phase occurs when the Moon is at a 90-degree angle relative to the Earth and the Sun, which does not align for a lunar eclipse to happen.
If the Moon is between Earth and the Sun, it is not a phase, at all . . . it is a solar eclipse.
During a solar eclipse, the moon phase is a new moon. This is when the moon is positioned directly between the Earth and the Sun, casting a shadow on Earth and causing an eclipse.
A new moon phase is happening when the moon is aligned between the Earth and the Sun. During this phase, the side of the moon that is illuminated by the Sun is facing away from Earth, making the moon appear dark or invisible from our perspective.

During a new moon phase, the moon is located between the Earth and the Sun, so it is not visible from Earth.

New moon.
When the moon is aligned to the sun and the earth: MOON --> EARTH --> SUN
During a solar eclipse, the moon phase is a new moon. This is when the moon is positioned directly between the Earth and the Sun, casting a shadow on Earth and causing an eclipse.
The moon will disappear when it is in the new moon phase, as ironic as that sounds.
the new moon cannot be seen from earth because there is no sunlight hitting the moon so there is no reflection to see in the sky
You will see most of the moon's surface during the full moon phase when the entire illuminated side of the moon is facing Earth.
The phase that results when the Moon is on the same side of the Earth as the Sun is called the New Moon phase. During this phase, the side of the Moon that is illuminated by the Sun is facing away from Earth, making it appear dark in the sky.
