The sun and moon were perceived as celestial or heavenly deities. The sun was considered to be the giver of life, light, heat and sustenance which meant that it was a God. The moon was a secondary God. The moon was the God of the night and was also associated other spiritual energies relating to health. The tales were created out of the imagination of the religious leaders who professed that they were mystically gifted with divine revelations from these supreme benefactors. These tales were created to provide psychological comfort/protection in times of hardship, natural disasters, disease and death.

The moon and sun can tell us that the earth is moving as our earth spins adding to the sight of turn of the Moon which we can see in the sky moving throughout the day.

Can you tell time from position of moon?
you can frum the sun but im not sure bout the moon Thanks In my question, I was hoping that you might get even a hint of where say north is by the direction of the moons crescent or it's position. As you can tell north by the position of the sun, perhaps you can get an indication of the sun from the sun light being reflected from a half moon?
How do use the moon movement and phases to tell time?
The whole Moon is there all the time. The phases of "quarter," "crescent" and so forth describe the part of the Moon on which sunlight is falling. When the Moon is on the opposite side of the Earth as the Sun (in other words, in a line of Sun - Earth - Moon), the sunlit side is the same as the side an observer on Earth sees, so the Moon is "full." When the Moon and Sun are on the same side (Sun - Moon - Earth), the lighted side is the side facing away from Earth, and the Moon is dark, or "New." In first and third "quarters," the Sun and Moon form a right angle (a "corner") with the Earth, as when somebody stands with a single light source near his ear and his face is half in the light.
