The only time the Moon is EXACTLY in the new phase is when we're having a solar eclipse. At most of the new moons, the Moon is just a bit above or a bit below the Sun in the sky. And the Moon is only EXACTLY new for an hour or so; the Moon moves fairly quickly across the Earth. So when you're seeing the sliver of Moon at sunrise or sunset, you're actually seeing a Moon that is a few hours before or a few hours after it is precisely "new".

How does the sun make a crescent moon?
The sun creates the appearance of a crescent moon through the angle at which sunlight illuminates the moon's surface. When the moon is positioned between the Earth and the sun, only a small portion of its illuminated side is visible from Earth, resulting in a crescent shape. This phase occurs as the moon orbits the Earth, transitioning between new moon and first quarter phases. The crescent shape is essentially a reflection of the sunlight hitting the moon, with the dark side of the moon facing Earth.
Is a crescent moon a polygon?
