How long does the moon stay up in the sky?
It is always in the sky. When you cant see it, it is simply hiding behind the sun. Jesus is also in on this switcharoo. If you mean how long it is above the horizon, that depends on the moon's phase and the time of year. For example, a full moon in June in the northern hemisphere will be above the horizon for a shorter period of time because the night is shorter, and the full moon is opposite the sun. The flip side is that the full moon will be visible for a longer above the horizon period of time in December, again because the night is longer than the day.
When can you see the new moon with your naked eye?
we can not see the new moon if it sets along with the sun i.e almost the same time the sun sets. Next day the moon will remain above horizon for about 41.5 minutes after the sun sets. So depending on the location on earth i.e from a given lat/long if the new moon stays about half the above time gap i.e to say about 20 minutes above horizon on any location, it will be visible better towards later part of its time above horizon in reduced light at sunset.
When is the Shadow is shorter in morning or evening?

Why is it night falls and day breaks?

If a clock tower is 15 feet tall. How long is its shadow at 60 degree above the horizon. How do you work out the problem?
If the angle of elevation is 60 degrees then by using the tangent ratio the length of the shadow is 8.66 feet rounded to two decimal places.
