The Gravitational Pull The Moon exerts a strong gravitational pull that causes the changing tides in our oceans and seas.
But the lit side does not always face the Earth! As the Moon circles the Earth, the amount of the lit side we see changes. These changes are known as the phases of the Moon and it repeats in a certain way over and over. At new moon, the Moon is lined up between the Earth and the Sun. We see the side of the Moon that is not being lit by the Sun in other words, we see no Moon at all, because the brightness of the Sun outshines the dim Moon! When the Moon is exactly lined up with the Sun as viewed from Earth , we experience an eclipse.
As the Moon moves eastward away from the Sun in the sky, we see a bit more of the sunlit side of the Moon each night. A few days after new moon, we see a thin crescent in the western evening sky. The crescent Moon waxes, or appears to grow fatter, each night. When half of the Moon's disc is illuminated, we call it the first quarter moon.
This name comes from the fact that the Moon is now one-quarter of the way through the lunar month. From Earth, we are now looking at the sunlit side of the Moon from off to the side. The Moon continues to wax.
Once more than half of the disc is illuminated, it has a shape we call gibbous. The gibbous moon appears to grow fatter each night until we see the full sunlit face of the Moon. We call this phase the full moon. It rises almost exactly as the Sun sets and sets just as the Sun rises the next day. Is it smiling at you? Bob explains the crescent Moon tilt. Look for that sly, slim smile.
Early cave paintings reveal a primitive fascination with the crescent Moon, and its allure continues to this day. Ever noticed: The crescent Moon is always low in the sky and confined to the hours around dawn or dusk; it is never in darkness. When the Moon appears early in its first quarter or late in its last quarter, only a small arc-shaped section is visible and illuminated by the Sun.
At no time of night from any location on Earth does the Moon appear to be frowning; this occurs only around midday, in full sunlight. In northern polar regions Alaska, the Yukon, the Northwest Territories, and Nunavut , the crescent always points sideways. In both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, the shape and width of the crescent Moon is the same on the same day.
In the Northern Hemisphere, the Moon stands above or more usually to the upper left of the sunset point. In the Southern Hemisphere, it stands to the upper right of the sunset point.
For example, among followers of Islam, the first sighting marks the start of each month and determines fast times and holidays. Two days and 26 degrees later the Moon appears to move leftward 13 degrees every 24 hours , when the Moon is not in line with the Sun and therefore is only marginally in view, the waxing crescent appears just above the western horizon, setting soon after sunset. When the crescent Moon appears in early twilight, a strange but famous feature becomes visible: The dark portion of the Moon the area unlit by the Sun seems to glow.

Simultaneously, the Earth-lit portion shrinks and dims; Earth is shrinking into a thinner phase in the lunar sky.
