Question

on a new moon day, we cannot see the moon even though it is there in the sky, why is that so​

Answer 1

Answer:

On a new moon day we cannot see the moon even though it is there in the sky because the moon do not receives any luminous light from the Sun and hence cannot reflect any light upon Earth.

Answer 2

On a new moon day, we cannot see the moon even though it is there in the sky because the part of the moon that is facing the earth is not illuminated by the sun and it appears dark.

* On a new moon day, the moon is positioned between the sun and the earth.

* The side that faces the sun gets illuminated by it, however, the other half which faces the earth remains dark.

* In such circumstances, a solar eclipse occurs in which the moon casts its shadow on the earth's surface and we are unable to see the moon.
