I don't understand it asking me what the earth look like when the moon is a new moon

Explanation:

From a new Moon, when the Moon is situated in orbit between the Earth and the Sun with its dark side in shadow facing towards us, the amount of lunar surface visible from the Earth increases through waxing crescent, first quarter and waxing gibbous phases until it becomes full.

The new moon is the phase that is invisible to us here on Earth because the moon is between the earth and the sun, and its illuminated side is facing away from us. A solar eclipse occurs when the moon moves in front of the sun, blocking it from our view on Earth.
