What is cresant moon?
First of all to correct your spelling. It is 'Crescent'. NOT 'cresant'. A crescent moon is a phase of the Moon when less than half of the Moon is lit by the Sun , as seen from the Earth. It appears as two circular arcs nesting inside one another; that come to two points (top & bottom). During the Moon's monthly orbit of the Earth, you will see two crescent Moons. One is in the evening , when the Moon is between New Moon and 1st. Quarter. This is a WAXING CRESCENT Moon. The Second is seen in the morning, when the Moon is between Last Quarter and the next New Moon. This is a WANING CRESCENT Moon. The Moon shows two other faces, between 1st Quarter and Full Moon and between Full Moon and Last Quarter. At these two positions it appears to be not quite circular. It is known as a WAXING/WANINGH GIBBOUS Moon.

When there is a half moon where will it be located?
There are two phases of half moon, known as first quarter and third quarter. At first quarter, the Moon is one quarter of its journey around Earth, measured from new moon. If you look straight at a first quarter half moon, the Sun should be about 90° to your right, and you would see it in the evening. At third quarter, the Moon is three quarters of its journey around Earth, measured from new moon. If you look straight at a third quarter half moon, the Sun should be about 90° to your left , and you would see it in the early hours of the morning. We don't see that as often, as we are more likely to be in bed. If you look carefully and the conditions are right, you will see half moons during daylight.
