What is the position of the earth, moon, and sun during a new moon?
Earth is between the sun and the moon
sun is between Earth and the moon
O moon is between the sun and Earth
moon is to the side of Earth and the sun



Answer :

During a new moon: 1. The sun is in the direction of the moon. 2. The moon is in the direction of the sun. 3. Earth is to the side of the moon, without blocking the sunlight from reaching the moon. This alignment occurs during a new moon phase when the moon is positioned between the sun and the Earth. The side of the moon that is illuminated by the sun is facing away from the Earth, making the moon appear dark from our perspective. This alignment causes the moon to blend in with the brightness of the sun's light, creating the phenomenon known as a new moon.
