* The New Moon is actually between the Earth and the Sun. During a new moon, the sun, Earth, and moon are roughly aligned, with the moon in the middle.
* The sun's light is what makes the moon visible. We see the moon because sunlight reflects off its surface.
* The New Moon is invisible because its sunlit side is facing away from Earth. Since the sunlit side of the moon is facing the sun, the dark side is facing us, making it appear invisible.
In short, the sun doesn't "make" the new moon invisible. It's the moon's position relative to the sun and Earth that causes it to be dark and hidden from our view.
