* he new moon phase when the position is       Sun - Moon - Earth,

* have of the Full Moon when the position is     Sun - Earth - Moon,

*All the phases of the moon are governed by the movement of the Moon around the Earth.

Explanation:

In the solar system, the planets revolve around the sun, which is much more massive, in the case of the Earth it is more massive than its satellite, therefore the Moon revolves around the Earth in a period of approximately 28 days.

It is said that the moon is in the new moon phase when the position is Sun - Moon - Earth, so the moon cannot be seen

It is in the phase of the Full Moon when the position is

                  Sun - Earth - Moon, in this case the moon can be observed by the light reflected from it.

All the phases of the moon are governed by the movement of the Moon around the Earth.
