The phase of the moon that is seen when the moon is located between Earth and the sun is the new moon.
The phase of the moon that is seen when it is located between Earth and the sun is called the "new moon." To understand why this is the answer, let's go through the process of elimination.
- Gibbous and crescent are not the correct answers because they describe phases of the moon when only a portion of it is visible, and not when it is located between Earth and the sun.
- Full moon is also not the correct answer because during this phase, the moon is on the opposite side of Earth from the sun.
Therefore, the correct answer is "new moon."
