Verified Answer :

  1. New moon
    This is because the moon comes between the Earth and sun and this is only possible during its new moon phase.

    2. Full moon
    This is because the Earth comes between the Moon and the sun and the effect is only visible when there is a full moon.

    3. Corona
    The corona is the outer layer and is the only one visible when there is an eclipse.
