Technically speaking, when you cannot see the moon, it is a new moon. But my thinking is that if you can't see the moon, how can it be new? So my definition of a new moon is when you can see a smile in the sky because the moon is happy that it has just been born, but when you see a frown in the sky, the moon is sad because it is dying. Then you get the scientific "new moon."
What else can I help you with?
Why dont you see the new moon?
The moon does not emit any light, the only reason why we see the moon at night is due to the sun reflecting off it. When there is a new moon the earth is exactly in between the moon and the sun, thus no sunlight reaches the moon as a result it is dark and cannot be seen in the night sky
Is a gibbous moon dark or lit?
In a gibbous moon phase, most of the moon that we see is lit.
Can you see the moon when it is raining?
No, we cannot See the Moon when it is raining because the clouds will cover the moon and if the cloud is clear only we can see the cloud.
When you cannot see any of thelit up part of the moon it is called a?
New Moon
What phase of the moon are you able to see the most surface area?
At just about any phase, you can see half of the Moon's surface. Close to new moon, however, it may be hard to see the dark side.
When the sky is totally dark and you cannot see the moon?
IF you are unable to see the moon when it is totally dark outside this means it is probably a new moon (or close to a new moon). Another reason that you may not see the moon at night is that it is blocked by a cloudy side or on the opposite side of tall objects such as buildings around you.
Do the moon have dark side?
Actually no. Because we cannot see the back side of the moon. But it is not always in dark. Sun can shine on it too
Why is it that you cannot see the other side of the moon from earth?
That is because you are looking at the moon from only one side, and the moon does not rotate, so therefor, we don't see the dark side of the moon.
What is eclipse and how this occur?
An eclipse occurs when the moon moves infrount of the sun so we cannot see the sun and this blocks out the light on earth and therefor we cannot see very well because it is dark so we cannot see because it is quite dark.
Where is the moon on its orbit when you cannot see it?
Its not that it's some where else its because, when you can not see it it's dark side is facing the Earth.
Which phase is the moon in when we cannot see it at all?
The phase of the moon when we cannot see it at all is called the "New Moon." During this phase, the moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun, causing the side of the moon that is illuminated by the Sun to face away from Earth. As a result, the moon appears dark and is not visible from our planet.
Why is it impossible to see a new moon?
When the Moon is "new", it is very near to the Sun in the sky, and the side of the Moon that is illuminated by the Sun is facing AWAY from the Earth. So between the darkness of the "dark side of the Moon" and the brilliance of the Sun in the sky, it is nearly (but not totally!) impossible to see the "new" Moon.
Can starfish see in the dark?
starfish have eyes but they can only see light and dark, but they cannot see clearly, so no, they cannot see in the dark.
What can you see in a room that is totally dark?
This is a simple answer. Our eyes require the reflection of white light from an object in order to see it. If there is zero light in a room that is totally dark we can see nothing.
Is it possible for us to see the dark side of the moon?
Not from Earth.Now if by the dark side, you mean the actual dark side, the one facing away from the Sun, then you cannot see it just as you cannot see any dark body.If by the dark side, you mean the side facing away from Earth (the far side), then you can send spacecraft to see the other side.That would cost a lot of time and money.
Why cannot we see the moon in a new moon day?
Because the side of the moon facing us is in the dark. Also, the moon is too close to the sun to be visible. It is possible to see a new moon with the right telescope. A new moon is also visible during a total solar eclipse.
Why can people see the phases of the moon?
We see the Moon from different angles. When the Moon is opposite to the Sun in the sky, we see the illuminated part. When the Moon is in front of the Sun, we see the dark part. At a 90 degree angle, we see half of the Moon illuminated, and half dark.
