Why is it that you see the moon faintly during the new moon?

During a new moon, the moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun, making its illuminated side face away from us. However, we can sometimes see the faint outline of the moon due to a phenomenon called "earthshine," where sunlight reflects off the Earth and gently illuminates the dark side of the moon. This soft glow is often visible during a new moon, creating a subtle and beautiful effect.
