Answer:

New Moon and the Last  quarter.

Explanation:

At the time of the new  moon every month, a very small part of the moon is illuminated as the it is far away from the earth. This means that the moon, earth and sun are almost in one line and earth blocks all the lights.  

Also, during the last quarter of the moon, the moon gets smaller and smaller as the sun, earth and moon again start coming in one straight line.
