The "new moon" is when the Moon passes (almost) between the Sun and the Earth. The next new moon will be on November 16, 2009.
If the Moon were to pass EXACTLY between the Sun and the Earth, there would be a solar eclipse.
every 27.3 days....which is the period of moon's revolution around the earth and what is the next date that this will happen?
To determine if it was a crescent moon on a specific Friday, one would need to check a lunar calendar or astronomical resource for that date. Crescent moons occur shortly after the new moon phase, typically visible in the evening sky. If you provide a specific Friday date, I can help you find the moon phase for that day.
There is a new moon during the *daytime* and this occurs about every 29.53 days. The exact time and date will vary by location on the Earth.For the new moon phase, the Moon is along the direct line between the Earth and the Sun, so that there is practically none of the illuminated surface visible from Earth.
Without knowing the specific date, it is difficult to determine the phase of the moon shown yesterday. The phase of the moon changes each night, so you would need to provide the date in order to know the specific phase.
The International Date Line runs between Russia and Alaska. The Eastern Hemisphere is a day ahead of the Western Hemisphere.
Not this year. Earth Day is the same date in the Gregorian calendar each year, and the Gregorian calendar is not synchronized with the lunar calendar at all.
Pick any date before tomorrow, and Earth existed on that date.
The maximum time difference between two locations on Earth is 24 hours, which occurs when they are on opposite sides of the International Date Line.
Nominally 180° of longitude, or halfway around the Earth.
