**Understanding the New Moon Phase**The new moon is the first phase of the moon. During the day, a new moon is positioned between the sun and the Earth. It's daytime, so we usually can’t see it. Then, at night, the moon is on the other side of the Earth. Because the moon is not lighting up the sky, this is the best time to see stars and constellations.### Question**Which of the following best describes the relationship between the new moon phase and constellations?**- **A**: During the new moon phase, constellations take on different shapes due to a lack of moonlight.- **B**: During the new moon phase, constellations are on the same side of the Earth as the sun.- **C**: During the new moon phase, constellations are easier to see due to a lack of moonlight. *(Correct Answer)*- **D**: During the new moon phase, constellations are easier to see due to increased sunlight.**Note**: A small image displaying a dark sky with stars is labeled "New moon," illustrating the visibility of stars during the new moon phase.

Constellation is the cluster of stars that are arranged to give some pattern.
