When the sky is totally dark an you cannot see the moon?

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."


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
