Old relatives always said to me: if it's a C for coming, then it's going.
So the moon's phase depends if it looks like a C: which would mean last quarter (going).
A new moon will appear as a ) in its first quarter (coming).
Note that the time of day has no bearing on the shape of the visible moon.
The full moon typically sets 2 to 3 hours after the sun sets. This phenomenon occurs because the full moon rises as the sun sets and sets as the sun rises due to their positions in the sky opposite each other during a full moon phase.
That's the waxing crescent.
The waxing crescent phase ends at First Quarter, which you would expect
to set 1/4 of a day ... about 6 hours ... after the sun.
That will happen at full moon.
That will happen at full moon.
That will happen at full moon.
That will happen at full moon.
It is a crescent Moon. It's actually a waxing crescent Moon.
The "waxing crescent" Moon sets 2-3 hours after the Sun does.
That will happen at full moon.
The waxing crescent will rise and set 6 hours or less after the sun does.

iceland in the summer has a nighttime of 2 hours
The new Moon occurs every month when the moon sets just after sunset. From one new moon to the next, there is a time of about 29 1/2 days.
It is earlier in South Dakota that in New England. The sun rises in the East and sets in West....
If you stay in one place on the moon, then the sun rises, stays up for about 2 Earth weeks, then sets, and stays down for about another 2 Earth weeks. That makes a complete "day" on the moon as long as 27.3 earth-days.

The sun does not go anywhere. In our Solar system the sun is the constant, it does not move (not counting the spin and movement of the galaxy).More accurately which way are we facing when the sun is not visible? Since we rotate on an axis the direction we face in our solar system will not be the same for another 24 hours. When we are facing the sun the opposite side of the planet is facing dark space and vice-verse.
From http://www.astro.uu.nl/~strous/AA/en/antwoorden/maan.html#19: The motion of the Moon is much more difficult to calculate than the motion of the Sun. If you want very precise directions, then you're best off using a planetarium program, which can calculate the direction of the Moon for whatever time and location you want, and (usually) can calculate the direction at moonrise and moonset as well. Some examples are Redshift 5 (for Microsoft Windows; http://www.maris.com) and xplns (for Linux; http://www.astroarts.com/products/xplns/), but there are many more. If you don't mind doing some calculations yourself, then you can try the instructions from the "Positions in the Sky"-page. If you just want the general direction, and already know where the Sun rises and sets in each season for the location that you are interested in, then you can figure it out as follows: If the Moon is x days beyond the phase of New Moon, then it rises and sets roughly where the Sun does x times 2/5 months later and x times 4/5 hours earlier, as seen from the same location on Earth. Likewise, if the Moon is x days before New Moon, then it rises and sets roughly where the Sun does x times 2/5 months earlier and x times 4/5 hours later.
Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin stayed on the moon for about six hours.
The duration of The Voice of the Moon is 2 hours.
The primary source of tidal effects on Earth is the Moon, and the Sun is #2.
