What two phases of the moon appear as only a tiny silver?

The two phases of the moon that appear as only a tiny silver crescent are the waxing crescent and the waning crescent. During the waxing crescent phase, the moon is transitioning from new to first quarter, and a small sliver of light is visible. Conversely, the waning crescent phase occurs after the last quarter, with only a small portion of the moon illuminated before it returns to the new moon phase. Both phases create a delicate, thin crescent shape in the night sky.
